Daniel Webster once said: "It is a noble faculty of our natures
Which enables us to connect our thoughts, sympathies, and happiness
with what is distant in places or time; and, looking before and after,
to hold communion at once with our ancestors and our posterity.
There is a moral and philosophical respect for our ancestors which
elevates the character and improves the heart. Next to the sense of
religious duty and moral feeling, I hardly know what should bear
with stronger obligation on a liberal and enlightened mind than a
consciousness of an allegiance with excellence which is departed,
and a consciousness, too, that in its acts and conduct, and even in its
thoughts and sentiments, may be actively operating on the happiness
of others that may come after us."

PREFACE

It had long been the desire of the author to know from
what country the ancestor of the Shuey family came. In
conversation with different members of the family, he was sur-
prised to find how little they knew of the family, of its ancestors,
and of the different branches, who had well nigh lost the con-
nection with another. In 1872 he visited Dayton, Ohio,
and a copy of the pic-nic paper came into his hands. From this
it appeared that some at least had made an effort to retain the
family connection. Believing that his desire could be met by the
aid of this clue, he earnestly set to work ; but for a long time his
search was in vain, and had it not been for his persevering nature
the task would have been abandoned.

After coming into possession of some valuable information,
and a correspondence had been commenced with certain mem-
bers of the family, he received very encouraging letters, urging
him to prosecute his investigations, and to arrange the result of
such investigation in proper shape for publication. All the
facts as they became known were carefully noted down and pre-
served. The difficulty experienced in securing the correspond-
ence of some interested party in each branch of the family
accounts for the slow progress of the work. At least one-half
of the letters which the author wrote and sent to the different
members were never answered. Some allowance for this seem-
ing negligence can be made, inasmuch as the correct name of the
post-office may not always have been at hand, and hence some
of the letters were returned. It is quite certain, however, that
many letters were received by parties who neglected to answer
them. This was a source of great disappointment to the author.
Obligations are due to many who have kindly furnished facts.
Want of space forbids giving their names. The reason why
some sketches are given with much fuller accounts than others
is at once apparent. It is on account of not being able to enlist
the services of interested parties, who with but little trouble
could have furnished all the information needed. The author
had knowledge of only about one-fifth of the persons here
represented when he commenced his labor of gathering facts.

O HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

None but the Pennsylvania Shueys and a few families at Dayton,
Ohio, were known directly, although the author was informed
that some Shueys lived in Virginia and some in California. How
to get a clue to their history was perplexing, on account of not
having the address of any one to whom a letter could be for-
warded. Thus it will be seen that it became a slow and weari-
some work, and many would have given up in despair. To
abandon the project would have been a great disappointment
to the author.

To give an account of the trials and difficulties experienced
in gathering the facts and in making the proper connection of
the different fragments of fact in compiling this work, would
in itself make an interesting volume. If any of the dates are in-
correct in the book, it is because they were furnished incorrect-
ly. The greatest care was bestowed on obtaining and arrang-
ing correctly the many dates which are here inserted. This
was a difficult task, since some persons are not any too well
informed of their own dates. To give an example, the author
was in correspondence with twin brothers who severally fur-
nished their dates of birth, and these were a few months apart.
Only one of the dates could be used, and the one which the
sender said he had from official record in the family Bible was
chosen. Many other instances could be furnished, but let this
one suffice. The author had to rely on correspondence and,
therefore, does not wish to be responsible for any misstate-
ments, if such should appear on these pages. After seeing the
book no doubt many will feel sorry that they did not bestow
more care in furnishing items of interest. At times the cor-
respondence became very laborious to the author — especially
when he found that his questions had remained unanswered,
and instead long letters were written which were of but little
use for the history. Others again acknowledged the receipt of
the author's letter and promised to furnish the answers soon,
but those promises remained unfulfilled.

The author has succeeded in tracing the different branches of
the family, and the proper connection of different members
with one another. Any member, no matter how remote, can
easily trace his connection with the parent stem. Some few
twigs may have been lost, but the trunk and the branches of
this great family tree are found in this volume.

The author regards this work largely private — one which has
been especially prepared for the members of the family. It is,
therefore, not open to the critical eye of the public. From

PREFACE /

many miles of travel, spending much time on the work, and a
patient research of records, both public and private, and after
an immense correspondence, with individuals in the various
branches of the family, this history is a result. Would that a
more competent hand had undertaken it and carried it out to its
conclusion in a better style. It is, therefore, presented to the
readers in this form, asking their forbearance while they peruse
these pages. Many will be interested, it is hoped, in this work,
since it is purely a labor of love on the part of the author, know-
ing that there can be no financial remuneration for his patient
work in compiling this history. The first edition of the His-
tory of the Shuey Family in America, published in 1876, was
written in the author's spare moments, during three years while
he was taking his course of theological studies, preparatory to
his life work in the Gospel ministry, and was therefore fragmen-
tarily prepared. Now this revised History was compiled by the
author, at the earnest request of many members of this large,
and it can be truly said, an exceptional family, during four
years while engaged in pastoral labors, with many interruptions
incident to such double work. To honor our ancestors is our
duty; and if the author has succeeded in interesting the reader,
the object of his work will have been realized.

INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER

The author began this History of the Shuey Family with
the traditional part which had been handed down from his
ancestors. Tradition, is not always reliable, but is a great as-
sistant in ascertaining facts. His first investigation was based
on tradition, from which he proceeded to investigate records
and ascertain facts. The traditions held by the different
branches of the Shuey family all corroborated each other, and
were so similar in many of the details that they came to be be-
lieved as truths. All the older members of the family said that
the first Shuey of America came from France. He was com-
pelled to flee from that country, tradition had it, on account
of his Protestant faith, having been sorely oppressed by the
Roman Catholics. The Shuey family is scattered over a good
part of the United States, but this tradition was held by all
the branches of the family. When the author came to exam-
ine facts based on official records, he found that the first
Shuey did not come from France, but that he came with the
Palatinates, starting from Rotterdam. But by a closer investi-
gation he found that this does not necessarily ignore the tradi-
tion. After careful investigation and comparison of tradition
with facts, he concluded that the Shueys are descendants of
the French Huguenots.

A few words of explanation concerning the Huguenots will
be necessary at this point, in order to understand fully, under
what circumstances this ancestor came to this country. It is
generally conceded that he was a descendent of the Huguenots,
and it may be interesting therefore to look back to the history
of the Huguenots.

A little more than four and a half centuries ago, a simple
yet one of the most useful inventions was made, which now
ranks second to none in modern history. The art of printing
was invented but a short time previous to the great Reformation.
One of the first works which the printing press was engaged to
publish was the Bible, for which the people were hungering. In
this way for the first time came the Bible into the hands of the
common people, who read it and studied it for themselves instead

10 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

of depending merely on the interpretation of the Roman teachers.
This circulation of the Bible gave impulse to the French Reforma-
tion, and it soon gathered many adherents to the new religion and
the Protestant doctrines. Then came oppression from the ruling
power, at the instance of the Roman priests and monks, who
found their revenues diminishing. But with the oppression came
sympathizers for the oppressed, and instead of exterminating
the Gospellers, as they were then called, it only added to their
strength, and the number of gospel-readers increased very
rapidly. Men of rank, as well as of learning and of war, took
the side of the new religion, and their number soon swelled to a
considerable power in the state. They then became a separate
party called Huguenots or French Protestants.

Of extremely obscure origin, the term Huguenot was at first
applied as a nickname, which the Protestants bore with pride.
The name is supposed to be derived from the German Eidgenoss,
a confederate, since the Huguenots were confederates against
the Roman power., This confederation however was forced
upon them by the oppression from the Romanists.

The Bibles were ordered to be burned wherever found, the
printers placed under the ban or put to flight, but notwithstand-
ing this decree the Huguenots faithfully studied the Bible in
private, and held their religious meetings in secret places. The
worshippers were sought out and mercilessly murdered. The
very sight of men and women suffering death for their faith
rather than deny their convictions, attracted the attention even
of the incredulous. Their curiosity was aroused, they desired to
know what there was in this forbidden Bible that inspired such
confidence and assurance. Their numbers increased so rapidly
that in 1561 the alarmed Cardinal de Saint Croix wrote to the
pope ' the Kingdom is already half Huguenot." The papists
called them heretics, and asked the government to extirpate
them ; the Huguenots denounced the corruptions of the Roman
Church and demanded a reform. Thus the number of the
Huguenots increased. Coligny wrote to the Queen mother "We
have 2040 churches and 400,000 men able to bear arms, without
our secret adherents."

On the 18th of August, 1572, Henry, the young king of
Navarre, was married to Margaret, the daughter of Catherine
de Medici. This marriage of one person from each party the
Protestants supposed would bring about a reconciliation. Many
of the Huguenots had come to Paris to witness the ceremony
and to celebrate the royal event. Admiral Coligny and his

INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER 11

family were among those present. The marriage was followed
by a succession of feasts and gayeties, in which the leaders of
both parties heartily participated. On the day after the mar-
riage the Romanists held a secret council, at which it was deter-
mined to proclaim a general massacre of the Huguenots. The
king offered 50,000 crowns for the head of Coligny, who in a
few days was shot and wounded, by one who lay in wait for him.
The king visited the wounded man at his hotel and professed
the greatest horror of the dastardly act, and swore vengeance on
the assassin.

The 24th of August, St. Bartholmew's day, the day fixed for
the massacre, was ushered in by the ringing of the great bell of
the church for early prayer. This was the signal for the begin-
ning of the great slaughter. It was not yet three o'clock when
the murderers sallied forth on their bloody work. To distin-
guish between themselves and the Huguenots in the dark, they
tied a white sash around the left arm, and wore a white cross on
the front of the hat. Coligny and the young king's retinue were
among the first who were killed. These had accompanied the
young king to witness his wedding. Now they were marched
out one by one into the open square and butchered before the
very eyes of the royal host. The lives lost in this massacre
throughout France is estimated at one hundred thousand.
When Philip the Second heard the news of the massacre he is
said to have laughed for the first and only time in his life. Rome
was thrown into a delirium of joy at the news. A medal
was struck with the Pope's image on one side and the destroying
angel on the other sacrificing the Huguenots. This medal proves
that Rome acquiesced in this terrible massacre, and it will remain
a lasting monument to the countenance which she gave to this
terrible slaughter.

After sixty years of dreadful persecutions the Huguenots
were allowed comparative liberty of conscience and freedom of
worship by the Edict of Nantes, which Henry issued in 1598.
This admitted them to public employment and their children
were afforded access to schools. What the Roman Catholics
thought of this edict we can judge from the protest which they
sent to Pope Clement the Eighth, in which they said, "A decree
which gave liberty of conscience to all was the most accursed
that had ever been made ;" under such circumstances, and with
such protests as that sent to Clement, the Protestants could not
expect much freedom. The peace which was granted to them by
the Edict of Nantes was violated again and again, and they

12 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

could seek no redress at the hands of a power which gave en-
couragement to those persecuting them. They remained faithful
to their conscientious convictions, and would rather suffer death
than give up their holy religion, which gave them comfort even
in their greatest trials and troubles. They learned to place
their whole confidence in God to whom they could turn when all
men were against them. The later history of the Huguenots is
similar to their earlier history.

We learn from history that the religious persecutions in
France, under Louis XIV., were fearful at the close of the
seventeenth century. He gradually withheld from the Protest-
ants their equal civil rights, which had been granted them by the
Edict of Nantes. He endeavored to put down, destroy, and
wipe out altogether, the Protestant Church. Bodies of troops,
who were led by monks, passed through some of the provinces,
and compelled the inhabitants who were Protestants to re-
nounce their religion; they demolished their places of worship,
imprisoned and even put to death the faithful pastors. Hun-
dreds of thousands of Protestants fled to Switzerland, the
Netherlands, the Palatinate country, England, Germany, and
America. Along the borders cordons were stationed to prevent
this self-expatriation, but it was in vain ; the Protestants could
not be restrained from leaving the country. Insincere profes-
sions of Roman Catholicism were also made by many Protest-
ants. On the slightest appearance of relapse these were put to
death.

On October 23, 1685, Louis at last revoked the Edict of
Nantes, which was granted the Huguenots nearly a century be-
fore. Although this edict was only nominal, and gave but few
privileges to the Protestants, yet when it was revoked a new
flight was commenced, which was followed by a still more fear-
ful persecution of the Protestants. Their marriages were de-
clared null and void; their children deprived of the right of
inheritance, and forcibly shut up in convents, and their pastors
indiscriminately put to death. From the vicinity of the Nismes,
where the Protestants had always been very numerous, thou-
sands betook themselves to the mountains of the Cevennes, and
there continued the exercise of their religion in secret. The war
of the Cevennes, or Camisard war, was not terminated till 1706,
and the suppression of the local rebellion was attended with
circumstances of great cruelty. France had lost by this time
more than one million of her most active, enterprising and indus-
trious citizens.

INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER 13

We can hardly conceive where the religious freedom came
in, when we are informed that the Protestants were compelled
to accept the faith of the Roman Catholics. The Protestants in
France at that time were no better off than slaves. They were
forbidden to leave the country, under penalty of death. What
else could they do, if their oppressors were so severe and they
were not allowed peaceable departure, but to rise up in rebellion
and assert those rights which are accorded to humanity.

The Huguenot Refugees, from whom the Shuey family is
supposed to be descended, were very enterprising and were a
great loss to France when they fled from that country on account
of the Roman Catholic oppressions. It is said of them "they
were as godly on the Sabbath as they were industrious on week
days." When they came to Germany, new vigor was infused in
the places where they settled. Decayed towns received new life,
and empty houses were soon again occupied. The Huguenots
were very industrious, and history says their working year con-
sisted of 310 days, while the Catholics had only 260 working
days, thus having 105 days of repose. They were faithful and
trustworthy, and gained confidence wherever they lived. The
Huguenot's word was as good as his bond, and to be "honest as
a Huguenot," passed into a proverb.

It is worthy of note, that while the Huguenots were stigma-
tized in Roman Catholic writings as "heretics," "atheists,"
"blasphemers," "monsters vomited forth of hell," and the like,
not a word is to be found in them as to their morality and
integrity of character. The silence of their enemies on this
head is perhaps the most eloquent testimony in their favor. This
quality of integrity so characterized the business transactions
of the Huguenots, that the foreign trade of the country fell
almost entirely into their hands.

When the persecutions became too severe the Huguenots
began to dispose of their property and goods, and were beginning
to leave France in considerable numbers for the purpose of
establishing themselves in foreign countries. To prevent this,
the king issued an edict forbidding French subjects from pro-
ceeding abroad without express permission, under penalty of
confiscation of their goods and property. They offered no
resistance, but regularly met in prayer that the king's heart
might yet be softened toward them. Blow upon blow followed.
Protestants were forbidden to print books without the authority
of magistrates of the Romish communion. Protestant teachers
were interdicted from teaching children anything more than

14 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

reading, writing, and arithmetic. Such pastors as held meetings
amid the ruins of the churches which had been pulled down were
condemned to do penance with a rope round their necks, after
which they were to be banished from the kingdom. Protestants
were only allowed to bury their dead at daybreak or at night-
fall. They were prohibited from singing psalms on land or on
water, in workshops or in dwellings. If a priestly procession
passed one of their churches while the psalms were being sung,
they must stop instantly on pain of the fine or imprisonment of
the officiating minister.

Thus were the poor Huguenots trodden under foot, perse-
cuted, maltreated, fined, flogged, hanged, or sabered ; neverthe-
less many of those who survived still remained faithful. The
Revocation of the Edict of Nantes was a proclamation of war
by the armed against the unarmed — a war against peaceable
men, women, and children — a war against property, against
family, against society, against public morality, and, more than
all, against the rights of conscience.

It may be asked, why rake up these horrors of the past, these
tortures inflicted on innocent persons in times long since past
and gone? Simply because they are matters of history, they
cannot be ignored or suppressed. They may be horrible to
relate, it is true, but they were far more horrible to suffer. And,
however revolting they may now appear, any description of
them, no matter how vivid or how detailed, must necessarily fall
short of the dreadful reality to those who endured them. We
can well see the reason why the ancestor of the Shuey family left
France. In what part of France he lived we are not able to say.
It is quite likely that he lived in one of the Rhine countries after
leaving France. There are to this day persons living in several
places in Germany, by the name of Shuey, who likewise say that
their name is French ; but having lived in Germany so long, the
facts of their ancestry have been lost.

If we examine the names of the first Shueys of America,
we can notice that they are strongly French. Such as Daniel,
Peter, Louis or now Lewis, Henry, etc., are popular French
names, which we continually meet in French history. After our
family became more Germanized we find the name John more
frequently. It is a remarkable fact, too, that of all the German
emigrants who yearly flock to this country, only two men have
we found of these many thousands who bear our family name.

The orthography of the name may also have been changed,
as we are quite certain it has been changed somewhat in this

INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER 15

country. In I. D. Rupp's collection of 30,000 names, on page
250, we learn that on September 14th 1754, ship Nancy, with
Captain Ewing, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes, landed at
Philadelphia, with inhabitants from Lorraine, an old province in
the north-east of France. Among that list of names is Fred-
erick Showay. This may not be the same name as ours, though
the pronunciation of the two names is almost similar. Many
of the Palatinates could not write their own names when they
landed, and the clerks who wrote the names from mere sound
would soon change the name.

In 1869 the author was introduced to George W. DeLong,
formerly of New York and later an officer in the United States
Navy, who had travelled extensively through France for a period
of nine months. No sooner had he learned the name Shuey,
when he asked whether we had relatives in France, saying that
he had met a great many people in France bearing our family
name, with but a slight change in the accent, laying more stress
on the last syllable, in conformity with French pronunciation.

While the author was pastor at Mulberry, Indiana, he had a
French family, named Jacot, as parishioners, who had but lately
come from France. Charles, a son, remarked one day, "your
name Shuey is quite familiar to me, for a number of my play-
mates in France had that name." But in this case also the
accent was on the last syllable.

In 1904, the author made a trip through Italy, Switzerland,
Germany, and Holland, on his return from the Holy Land.
When he came into the Rhine country he searched the city
directories for the name Shuey, with the following result : At
Strassburg, met Ludwig Schue, Regierungs Secretary, who was
born at Ottwald-Neukirchen, a Rhine Provinz ; knows nothing
of his ancestors. Met a man in Heidelberg, who said the name
Shuey was quite familiar in Paris and in different parts of
France, but that there were none on this side of the Rhine.
Found no Shuey name at Mannheim. At Darmstadt lives
Philip Schue, a confectioner, who came from Mayence. At
Frankfort met Theodore Schue, a prominent man in insurance and
banking, born at Amsterdam and came to Frankfort when eight
years of age. He was then 69 years old. The author is of
the opinion that none of these are kin to the American Shueys
because their names do not have the "y" at the end of the name.

At Wiesbaden the directory gives four persons by the name
Schuy. Called on Laurence Schuy, a green grocer, who was
born at Lineberg. Says the name is French. That there are

16 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

many people by the name Schuy. That his uncle went to
Tennessee forty years ago. This is likely the same person with
whom the author had some correspondence many years ago. At
Mayence found the name of George Karl Schuy, and three per-
sons by the name of Schue. Found no Schuey at Bingen.
Coblenz has six named Schuy. Called on Ferdinand Schuy.
He is a large man, pleasing in appearance. Says his family have
always lived at this place. Says that at Metz are a whole
neighborhood of Shueys. William Shuey, of Lemont, Illinois,
who came to America in 1854, some years ago visited relatives
in Trier and Luxemberg near Metz. Found no Shuey at Bonn.
At Cologne-Koln, lives John Schuy a coal dealer, and also
William Schuy. Found no Shueys at Diisseldorf or Amster-
dam. In every case the Schue or Schuy found at all these
places, including those in Tennessee and Lemont, are catholics.
This confirms the opinion of the author that those who did not
flee from the French catholic persecution, became catholics by
coercion. Those who write their name Schuy are likely kin to
the Shueys of America. The Schue are a different family and
are also numerous in America, but according to the author's
investigation in public records and otherwise, are not connected
with our family.

DANIEL SHUEY

THE FIRST SHUEY IN AMERICA

Tlie author was at a loss to know where he should commence
to gather facts for this history, or where to apply. He under-
took to trace the family backward, commencing with the present,
and in this way seek to find the past. In this attempt he made
but poor progress. The older members of the family could take
him no further back than Henry Shuey, his great-grandfather.
He inquired of the oldest Shuey, he could find, for the name of
his grandfather; but this one did not know the name of his own
grandfather. This appeared very strange, but in investigation for
facts, and in talking with other people about such a history, he
found quite a number of people who were not able to give the
name of their own grandfather. The grandfather of the individ-
ual who was asked would have been the father of Henry Shuey.
The author then had a conversation with Prof. I. D. Rupp, of
Philadelphia, who was quite a student of antiquaries, and the
author of several books on subjects of this kind. In a few days
he received a letter from Mr. Rupp, in which he communicated
some information, by which he had some clue to make investi-
gations.

In his letter, Mr. Rupp referred to his book entitled "Collec-
tions of 30,000 Names," where, on page twenty-six, the informa-
tion is given that on the 19th of September, 1732, Palatinates
arrived in Philadelphia in the ship Johnson, of London, David
Crocket, master, from Rotterdam, last from Deal. These sub-
scribed the Oath of Fealty. Of that number was Daniel Schew,
as the name was written by the clerk. Daniel did not write his
own name, and if he had done so he would most likely have
written it Schuey. In the same ship came Ludwig Shuey, a
minor under sixteen. (See page 345, xxx., Collections of 30,000
Names.)

Mr. Rupp also appended an interesting notice from the Amer-
ican Weekly Mercury* concerning these passengers, which we
insert: "Philadelphia, September 21st, 1732 — Last Monday ar-

*The first newspaper published in Pennsylvania was commenced by Andrew Bradford
in 1719, entitled "The American Weekly Mercury."

18 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

rived Captain David Crocket. The following day the captain
marched his men passengers, about eighty, being under arms, up
High street to the court-house, where they laid down their guns.
After his Honor, the Governorf was come, they went into the
court-house, and took and subscribed the oath as usual, after
which they marched in a very decent order to the governor's
house and saluted his Honor with three volHes. Then they
marched to the worshipful, the Mayor,! and saluted him in the
same manner, and afterwards the High Sheriff. This done they
very quietly returned to the vessel again."

Since publishing the first edition of the Shuey History, the
author secured the third volume of the Colonial Records of Penn-
sylvania, giving the proceedings of the Provincial Council, pub-
lished by the State in 1840. On page 484 is the following record :
"At the Courthouse aforesaid, Sepr. 19th, 1732. Present: The
Honourable the Governor, The Mayor & other Magistrates. One
hundred & twelve Palatines, who with their Families, making in
all Three hundred & thirty Persons, were imported in the Ship
Johnson, of London, David Crocket, Mr., from Rotterdam, but
last from Deal, as by Clearance thence, were in like manner qual-
ified, whose names are subjoyned." The nineteenth name in
this list is Daniel Schuhl as it is printed in this book.

In the same ship with Daniel Shuey came 112 males above
16 years of age, and 98 under 16; 98 females above 16 and 95
under 16.

In the "Pennsylvania Archives," Second Edition, Volume
Seventeen, page 50, is published the original list of names of the
passengers, who arrived in the ship Johnson, of London, David
Crocket, Master, in Philadelphia on September 19, 1732. In the
first column of that list are the names Maria Schwe and Marga-
retta Schwe. In the second column are the names Daniell Schwe
and Lodawick Schwe. This proves that when they were regis-
tered on their arrival, the name Shuey had the French pronunci-
ation, and it settles the question of their French origin. This
Maria Schwe was evidently the wife of Daniel Shuey, who men-
tions her in his will as Mary Martha. Margaretta Schwe is men-
tioned in his will as Anna Margaret, wife of Nicholas Pontius,
and Lodawick Schwe is mentioned as Ludwig Schuy, my eldest
son. This additional information of the dim past was discovered
by the author only on August 7, 1917.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 19

Judging from these records, the ancestor came from the Pal-
atinate country, but, according to the introductory chapter, we
believe that his father came from France into the Palatinate coun-
try, where many of the Huguenots sought refuge and protection.
Although we claim to be descendants of the Huguenots, yet we
are not particularly anxious to be called Frenchmen, for we have
been thoroughly Americanized. Most of the members of the
family are now using only the English language, having lost both
the French and German languages. We are free to say, however,
that we believe there is still some French blood coursing through
the veins of the Shuey family. This might also be detected in
studying the character and disposition of some of the members
of the family. Especially do they have the highest regard for
their ancestors, who gave birth to this large family.

The date is now fixed when Daniel Shuey came to this coun-
try, in what manner and from what place he started, but we can-
not tell where he lived prior to his coming to America.

The next question naturally was, what relation do Daniel and
Ludwig sustain to each other? It was by a mere incidental clause
in a deed, given by Daniel to Ludwig, that it was ascertained
that Ludwig was a son of Daniel. This is quoted in the history
of Ludwig Shuey. Then it took months of searching to ascertain
whether Daniel and Ludwig sustained any relationship to John
Henry Shuey, the author's great-grandfather, the oldest person
of whom any one had any information at the time the first Shuey
History was written. This was accomplished by finding both the
record and the original will of Ludwig Shuey, which is inserted
in another place in this history. This proved that John Henry
Shuey was a son of Ludwig Shuey.

The emigrants, especially the Palatinates, must have come to
America in large numbers about the time that Daniel Shuey ar-
rived. Five years before, when the first began to arrive, it caused
some alarm in the mind of the governor of the province of
Pennsylvania. At a council held at Philadelphia, September 14,
1727, at which were present the Hon. Patrick Gordon, Lieut.
Governor James Logan, Richard Hill, Isaac Norris, William Fish-
bourn and Clement Plumstead, "the Governor acquainted the
Board that he had called them together at this time to inform
them that there is lately arrived from Holland, a ship with four
hundred Palatines as 'tis said, and that he has information they
will be very soon followed by a much larger number, who design
to settle in the back parts of this Province ; and as they transport
themselves without any Leave obtained from the Crown of Great

20 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

Britain, and settle themselves upon the Proprietors untaken up
Lands without any Application to the Proprietors or his Com-
missioners of Property, or to the Government in General, it
would be highly necessary to concert proper Measures for the
Peace and Security of the Province, which may be endangered
by such numbers of Strangers daily poured in, who being ig-
norant of our Language & Laws & settling in a body together,
make, as it were, a distinct People from his Majesties Subjects."

"The Board taking the same into serious consideration, ob-
serve that as these People pretended at first that they fly hither
on the Score of their Religious Liberties, and come under the
Protection of His Majesty. And therefore, until some proper
Remedy can be had from Home, to prevent the Importation of
Such Numbers of Strangers into this or others of His Majesties
Colonies, Tis Ordered, that the Masters of the Vessells importing
them shall be examined whether they have any Leave granted
them by the Court of Great Britain for the Importation of these
Forreigners, and that a List shall be taken of the Names of all
these People, their several Occupations, and the Places from
whence they come, and shall be further examined touching their
intentions in coming hither".1

Had it not been for this alarm and these precautions taken,
we would likely not have had any record officially informing us
when Daniel Shuey arrived in this country and under what cir-
cumstances. While this Council said these emigrants pretended
they came on the score of their religious liberties, it was no doubt
a fact and verifies the Shuey family tradition.

A week later the Council again met, September 21, 1727, and
approved the following Oath of Allegiance, and as no other is
given in the record, this is the one to which Daniel Shuey sub-
scribed, five years later. Notice the frequent use of Capital let-
ters as printed in the Colonial Records, Volume III., page 299.

"We Subscribers, Natives and late Inhabitants of the Pala-
tinate upon the Rhine & Places adjacent, having transported our-
selves and Families into this Province of Pennsylvania, a Colony
subject to the Crown of Great Britain, in hopes and Expectation
of finding a Retreat & peaceable Settlement therein, Do Solemnly
promise & Engage, that We will be faithfull & bear true Allegi-
ance to his present MAJESTY KING GEORGE THE SEC-
OND, and His Successors Kings of Great Britain, and will be
faithful to the Proprietor of this Province ; And that We will

demean ourselves peaceably to all His said Majesties Subjects,
and strictly observe & conform to the Laws of England and this
Province to the utmost of our Power and best of our under-
standing."

Seven thousand two hundred and eighty-six Palatines with
their families arrived at Philadelphia, according to Vol. III. of
Colonial Records, during the space of a few years, including the
family of Daniel Shuey. It is presumed all these settled in Penn-
sylvania east of the Susquehanna river. This was a large influx
of inhabitants in a new and uncultivated and mostly wooded
country consisting of but a few counties. No wonder the Eng-
lish authorities were alarmed and took the precaution to make all
of them at once subjects of the King of Great Britain.

After Daniel Shuey's landing in Philadelphia, nothing could
be found of his whereabouts until the year 1746, when we have
the following receipt :

Rec'd November 26th 1746 of Daniel Shewy the sum of fifteen
pounds in part of forty pounds consideration for an Improvement
where James Marshal lately dwelt in Bethel Township Lane. County,
adjoining the said Shewy's dwelling plantation & I do hereby assign
over unto the said Daniel Shewy his heirs & assigns all my Right &
Title to the proprietary's warrant granted to me for the same. Wit-
ness my Hand the Day and year above mend that the above prems are
subject to the proprietary's demands on the same.

Edw. Shippen.

The identical receipt from which this copy was made by the
author was in the hands of Joseph Hunsicker, who lived on the
farm which belonged to Daniel Shuey at that time. It is near
Hamlin P. O., Bethel Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania,
about one mile south of Klopp's Church, to which several refer-
ences will be made in the course of this history. We notice by
this receipt that Daniel Shuey owned a tract of land or "dwelling
plantation," as it is there called, prior to this time. '

This is fourteen years after Daniel landed in Philadelphia,
and since he bought a second tract of land at this time, it may
safely be concluded that he moved to this place immediately after
his arrival in this country. In the Land Department in Harris-
burg, we find that Daniel Shewy entered for 121 acres on the
23d of September, 1747, which was patented May 5th, 1762. Mr.
Hunsicker also held a receipt, bearing date May 5th, 1762, given
in Philadelphia, for 38 pounds 7 shillings and 9 pence, in consid-
eration for 121 acres and 60 perches — likewise a deed dated May
7th, 1762, for 121 acres and 60 perches. This, then, must be the
receipt and patent deed for the land entered on the 23d of Sep-

22 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

tember, 1747. Mr. Hunsicker also had a deed to Daniel Shuey,
dated November 12th, 1753, for 268^4 acres.

Daniel Shuey sold a tract of land containing 236 acres and an
allowance of six acres per cent, for roads and highways, to Mar-
tin Shuey for two hundred pounds. Description: "Situated on a
branch of Little Swatara Creek in said county of Berks. This
was a part of a ten thousand acre tract which Thomas Penn had
deeded to Margaretta Freame, widow and relict of Thomas
Freame, late of the city of Philadelphia. This deed, while dated
December 21, 1761, was not signed and acknowledged until Aug-
ust 24, 1762, and witnessed by Peter Klob and Philip Marsteller
before Peter Spycker, one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace
for the county of Berks. On this deed there was also written a
separate receipt, signed by Daniel Shuey, for the 200 pounds re-
ceived from Martin Shuey for said land. Recorded December 1,
1762, in Vol. III., page 118.

Mr. Hunsicker, a man upwards of sixty years of age, said
that when he was a young man, an old lady living in the neighbor-
hood told him that when she was a young girl, she attended the
funeral of Daniel Shuey, and she affirmed that he died in the
small house standing over the spring in Mr. Hunsicker's yard.
Mr. Hunsicker said that the lower part of the house was the
original, but the upper part had been repaired and fitted up. What
a beautiful spring that is, and how often our ancestors refreshed
themselves after coming in from the fields, can easily be imagined,
being wearied and fatigued by manual labor. Oh, how refreshing
it is to have such a clear, cool, invigorating and beautiful spring,
so convenient both for the use of man and beast.

On August 14, 1917, the author visited the farm on which
Daniel Shuey lived and died. The farm is now owned by W. H.
Hunsicker, a son of Joseph Hunsicker, who gave the author in-
formation for the first Shuey history. The farm now contains
216 acres. W. H. Hunsicker says he often heard the older people
of that community say that when Daniel Shuey, with others, came
to this neighborhood to select land which they desired to purchase,
Daniel modestly allowed the others to take first choice. As they
had come from the hills across the sea, they selected the hilly
country here and Daniel took what was left, the valleys and flat
country, which are now the choice farms of that community. He
also said that the Adam Heilman farm of 223 acres, the Adam
H. Hunsicker farm of 230 acres, the Walborn farm of 210 acres,
all adjoining with others making in all 1,600 acres, belonged to the
original Shueys. He also said that on the hills surrounding these

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 23

farms they have found Indian arrow heads and stone tomahawks.
This proves that the Indians inhabited this country. These lands
were purchased after William Penn had made treaties with the
Indians and had purchased the land from them. These farms
are rich limestone soil.

Daniel Shuey is represented to have been a middling stout
man, wearing a large gray beard at the time of his death, not very
tall, yet of good ordinary size, being about five feet eight or nine
inches, according to the statement of Mr. Hunsicker. He was a
good man, and reared his family to fear and serve God. He was
a member of the Reformed Church. This we know, because he
came from the Palatinate, where nearly all were Reformed. Again
we see in the church records that he had his children baptized in
the Reformed Church. He was connected with the Swatara Re-
formed Church, which stood several miles east of Jonestown.
Jonestown, of course, was commenced at a later date. The
country was then wild and uncultivated, and infested with savage
Indians. It is quite likely that Daniel was one of the founders of
this Swatara Church.1 With the Christian principles and creed
of the Huguenots and Palatinates inculcated in him, he could not
long remain in a new land without a place to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of his conscience. At this time there was
no minister of the gospel in this neighborhood to break unto
them the bread of life. The people, therefore, chose one of their
number, a pious layman, Tempelman by name, who officiated
for them at the Swatara Church. In June, 1747, Rev. Michael
Schlatter made a visit through this part of the country, and in his
journal, speaking of this visit, we have the following notice of
Rev. Conrad Tempelman: "Up to this time," says Mr. Schlatter,
"these congregations have been served by a certain tailor from
Heidelberg, named Tempelman, whom the people some twenty
years ago urged to this service ; they being willing to be instructed
and comforted by a pious layman, rather than be wholly without
the public service of God. This man, who is nearly sixty years
of age, is reported of by the congregation as a man of correct
views, quiet and peaceable in his spirit ; by which he has won the
love and respect of the community."* Tempelman lived about
four miles east of Lebanon, where he had several preaching
places. When he commenced preaching at Swatara Church is
not known. By the church record we see that he baptized some

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He died in England, 1826. — Rupp's History of Lan
caster County, page 291.

24 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

of Daniel Shuey's children. Rev. Tempelman was reported stone
blind, October 21, 1760. See Coetus, of Pennsylvania, page 192.
Here, then, we see that the people were longing for a Christian
communion with their God and with one another, showing that
they brought with them true Christian principles from their
fatherland. Swatara Church is entirely destroyed, and we are
told that even the graveyard has been plowed over, and is now
in a cultivated field, no traces of it being left.

When Daniel came to America and settled in Lancaster
county, or what is now Lebanon county, he found by no means
a very quiet and peaceable home. The country was then infested
by the savage Indians, and although this part of the country was
claimed by the white people, yet it was at a later date that the
Indians signed over their title of the land to the Penns. At a
council that was held in Philadelphia, on the eleventh of October,
1736, the Indians made a deed to John Penn, Thomas Penn, and
Richard Penn, their heirs, successors, and assigns. The deed was
signed by twenty-three Indian chiefs of the Onandaga, Seneca,
Oneida, and Tuscarora nations, granting the Penns "all the said
river Susquehanna, with the lands lying on both sides thereof,
to extend eastward as far as the heads of the branches or springs,
which run into the said Susquehanna," etc. This included the
country where Daniel lived, as his farm was near the Swatara, a
tributary of the Susquehanna.

We are not informed of any troubles with the Indians until
the year 1754, when we find them on the war-path, slaughtering
the innocent whites wherever they could reach them. Places of
safety had to be secured, where the whites could assemble to pro-
tect themselves and families. Agriculture was neglected in many
places, because it was not safe for people to be out. We read of
some horrible murders that were committed at that time. Daniel
Shuey's house was right in the midst of these troubles. The
nearest fort to Daniel's house was Fort Swatara. Daniel's house
was of itself a kind of fort, or at least a place where soldiers
were stationed, as we learn from the following extract of a letter
from Conrad Weiser to the governor of Pennsylvania.

Heidelberg, in Berks County, July 11th, 1756.
Honored Sir: — 'Immediately after my return from Philadelphia, I
sent orders to the Captains Busse, Morgan and Smith to meet me at
Fort Henry on the 9th inst. to consult together on certain measures
how to oppose the enemy from killing the people in reaping and
gathering in their harvest. The evening before 8th inst. Mr. Young
arrived with your Honor's orders to me; I there fore set out next
morning about 5 o'clock for Fort Henry, in company with Mr. Young,

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 25

as far as Benj. Spyckers. I arrived at Fort Henry at 10 o'clock; Capt.
Busse met me with an escort of eight men on horseback about six
miles on this side of Fort Henry; about 11 o'clock Capt. Morgan and
Smith arrived. I immediately made your Honor's orders known to
them; and the disposition was made that eight men of Capt. Smith's
company shall assist the people in the Hole (the place where murders
have twice been committed) to gather in their harvest and stay over
night in the Moravian House. Eight of his men are to range west-
ward of his Fort under the Hill, and if occasion requires to be sta-
tioned in two parties to guard the reapers. Sixteen men are to be
stationed in and about the fort, to help and protect the neighbors;
but constantly ten out of the sixteen are to stay in the Fort; and six
men are to range eastward from Manady towards Swatara; and six
men to range Westward towards Susquehanna; each party is to ad-
vance so far, that they may reach their Fort again before night. Capt.
Busse's company stationed as follows: ten men at Bernhard Tridel's
next to the Moravians; eight men at Casper Snebelie's; six men at
Daniel Shue's or Peter Klop's

I must mention to your Honor that when the people about Swatara
and the Hole heard of Captain Smith's being accused for neglect of
duty, they wrote a letter to me in his favor, which I sent by Sammy
Weiser, who can translate it if your Honor orders him to it. I also
sent a letter from Capt. Busse which contains the particulars of the
last murder. I received it by the way coming from Philadelphia, and
stopped the express, as it was only directed to me in order to save
charges

Just this moment, my son Sammy arrived from Fort Henry and
tells me that there had been an engagement at CaghnekacTieeky,
where twelve on our side were killed, and six Indians; that our people
kept the field and scalped the Indians, and that the Indians ran off
without any scalps. As bad news as it is, I wish it may be true. I have
at present no more to trouble your honor with, but am,

Sir, your very obedient

and humble servant,

Conrad Weiser.

We see here that the farmers were threatened with danger
from every side. It was only by soldiers standing guard over
them that they were enabled to gather their harvests. Daniel's
name in the above letter is Shue. The different places mentioned
in the letter are all familiar to the Shueys in Lebanon county.
The place called the Hole is now called Monroe Valley, and is
about six miles from where Daniel lived. The Moravian House
is at the south side of the Little Mountain in Swatara township,
near Bethel Church. Fort Smith was in Union township.

The author is in receipt of a letter from H. M. M. Richards,
Litt.D., bearing date August 6, 1895, from which we quote. "I
wish to thank you for your very interesting 'History of the Shuey
Family,' duly received. I congratulate you on the success of your

26 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

efforts. I am much interested in genealogical work myself and
know just what obstacles have confronted you. I particularly
noted your remarks about the part taken by your ancestor in the
French and Indian War. I was appointed a commissioner by the
governor of Pennsylvania, two years ago, to ascertain the loca-
tion of forts used during this war and write their history. This
I have done. My report is now in the hands of the State printer,
and I trust will be found most interesting and valuable. Of these
Fort Swatara, sometimes called Fort Smith after its commanding
officer, was located (about three-fourths of a mile from Swatara
Gap) on the property, at that time, 1755, of Peter Heydrich,
which, in 1844, was owned by the widow, Elizabeth Shuey, and
is now a part of the farm of Jacob Behney. The fort stood on the
north bank of a creek, on the south bank is now the home of
Jacob Behney, a brother of Joseph. It is just south of the old
State Road from Swatara Gap to Manada Gap. Swatara Gap
was then the great highway through the mountains and the savage
held high revelry over the whole region. I think the reason none
of your family lost their lives was because of their proximity to
the fort."

These dreadful butcheries of the whites were continued for
years ; at least in 1764, ten years after they commenced, we find
that Captain P. De Haas with eighteen men was stationed in
Bethel township, Lebanon county, on account of the Indian
troubles.

Those were fearful times for our first settlers, and we cannot
now count the full extent of their troubles. Discouragement often
stared them in the face. Before crossing the ocean their enemy
was on account of their religious beliefs ; now, when they thought
they had found peaceful homes, other enemies sprung up who
were lawless and sought the lives of peaceful citizens. It is diffi-
cult to see which enemy they feared the most; but the American
enemy sought only to destroy the body, while the other, as the
emigrants thought, would destroy both body and soul. This set-
tling in the new world was struggling against the tide, and the
fear of going under gave them new impulses to fight and to con-
quer. The pleasant homes which they had left across the sea
often rose in imagination before their minds, which made their
hearts ache ; and they questioned themselves, was it wise to leave
our mother country and get into such troubles here with the na-
tive Indians? We who enjoy the fruits of their labors forget
what it cost them to secure this beautiful and good land for us.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 27

According to Daniel Shuey's will, which is recorded in the of-
fice at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, bearing date May 8th, 1777, we
find that Daniel had nine children. The names are as follows :
Ludwig, Peter, Elizabeth, Daniel, John, Martin, Anna Margaret,
Catharine, and Barbara.

Inasmuch as a part of this history depends on this will, we
thought fit to transmit it in full to these pages, as transcribed
from the public records in the office.

Mary Martha was the name of Daniel Shuey's wife. Son Lud-
wig Shuey had died prior to his father's death, as is seen by the
date of his will. In part we followed the order of the names as
given in the will in giving them at this place. Ludwig's name is
given third, yet in the same connection it calls him "my eldest
son."

It is not necessary to make any comments on Daniel Shuey's
will, but simply call attention to the first part or introduction of
the will. But few wills in our day contain such a full confession
of faith of the one who is to depart from his family. It appears
as if that were also something which he commits to the trust and
confidence of his children. Not only are they to hold in posses-
sion his worldly goods, but also the faith in which he lived and
died. And as if this was the most precious, it is the first men-
tioned in the testament. We presume this part of the will, as here
recorded, will especially strike the reader as being very full.

The will is written in pure German, but the literal and correct
translation is enclosed with the will in the office. The book
record is made in German, and therefore our transcript is made
from the translation which accompanies the will. It is recorded
in Book C, page 474, in the Register's office in Lancaster, Pa.

DANIEL SHUEY'S WILL.

In the name of God amen I Daniel Shuey, Senior, of Bethel Town-
ship in the County of Lancaster and in the Province of Pennsylvania
being sick and weak of Body but of perfect Understanding and Mem-
ory Thanks be to God for the Same, and calling to Mind my Mor-
tality, knowing that it is appointed for all men once to Die, I will or-
der and make this my Last Will and Testament, in the first of all I
recommend my Soul into the Hands of Almighty God, who gave it
me, and my Body to the Earth, as the mother of us all, to be buried in
a christian Burial Place, at the Discretion of my Family and Exec-

mighty Power of God. And concerning my temporal Estate where-
with God has blessed me in my Lifetime, I bequeath the same in
Manner and Form following. Imprimis I will that all my just Debts
shall be paid of immediately after my Death. Item I give and be-
queath unto my Son Peter Shuey One Shilling lawful money, over

28 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

said Shilling my executors shall pay unto him after my Death, he hav-
ing before in my Lifetime received his share from me. Item I give
and bequeath unto my Son in Law Henry Moser likewise One Shilling

own and shall have and hold her free Habitation in my Dwelling house
and Garden, and so She may provide herself, and have her Livelyhood
of the Two Hundred Pounds aforesaid during her Life after my Death
and no Body shall be hindering her to enjoy what I give and bequeath
her, and she shall have Liberty to give and bequeath the same how,
and to whom she will at her Decease, all the moveables which her
own, and none shall make a Pretension to any Thing against her Will.
Item my Will is further that after the above bequeathing is paid and
Distributed as aforementioned by my Executors, which I shall name
hereafter, that then the Remainder of my Estate shall partly be di-
vided amongst my Heirs in equal Shares, their being six in number
viz. Ludwig Schuy or in his stead his Heirs, John Schuy and Martin
Schuy my Sons, and my Three Daughters viz. Anna Margaret the
Wife of Nicholas Pontius, Catharine the Wife of Jacob Giger and
Barbara the Wife of George Feesers. Now these mentioned Six in
Number Shall divide my left estate amongst them in equal shares as
aforesaid. Item, yet it is further my will in Respect of my Daughter
Elizabeth and her son Christian Moser, whom she got with her hus-
band Henry Moser, as also the Heirs of my Said Son Peter Shuey,
whom I will remember yet in this my Last Will, and so I bequeath
unto them a Sum of Two Hundred Pounds lawful Money as it is cur-
rent now in Pennsylvania which said sum of Two Hundred Pounds
will be due to my Estate according to a Bond in the Year One Thou-
sand Seven Hundred and Eighty four, which is the last Term due to
me, of my Sold Plantation which said Sum of Two Hundred Pounds
I now bequeath in Form and manner following. The Heirs of my

not sooner, No Body shall make any Pretensions, save his bodily
Issues or Children, as many as there are. Item it is farther my Will
in Respect of My Daughter's Son Christian Moser. I give and be-
queath unto him Fifty Pounds lawful Money of the above sum, and

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 29

he shall have the above sum of Fifty Pounds as a legacy from me,
which shall likewise be paid to him by my Executors, tho' not sooner
till he is arrived to his age, and no more under his Guardians is. But
if he should come to die before he should come to his Age, than the
said Fifty Pounds shall fall to the said Six Heirs, and be divided by
them amongst them, in equal Shares. Item farther in Respect of my
Daughter Elizabeth it is my Will that She shall have of the above
Sum Fifty Pounds lawful money but in no other Wise than in the
following Form and Manner, that if She my said Daughter Elizabeth
should come into a poor State of Widowhood, or for her Person in
other miserable Circumstances, that she should suffer that than and
in such a case my Executors shall give her as Necessity shall require
of the aforesaid Fifty Pounds, but the full sum She shall not have in
her Hands at once, and no Body shall make any pretension or seek
a right to the said money; and if it cannot be proved that my Daughter
really finds herself in said Circumstances and that she has her Lively-
hood without this, then the said Fifty Pounds shall also be divided
amongst the aforesaid Six Heirs in equal Shares. Item it is further
my Will in Respect of the said Sum of Two Hundred Pounds, if they
come into the Executor's Hands that they shall put it out upon Inter-
est if they can, what they not lay out, and such Interest shall also be
divided according to the Legacies to those to whom it belongs, as is
mentioned and described and not other wise. And Lastly I appoint and
constitute my Son Martin Schuy and the left Son of my deceased Son
Ludwig named Martin Schuey the Younger to be my trusty Exec-
utors, of this my Last Will and Testament Revoking hereby and

Be it Remembered that on the 21st day of May Anno Domini
1777, The last will and Testament of Daniel Shuey Sen. late of Bethel
Township in the County of Lancaster, yeoman, deceased was proved
in the form of Law, and Letters Testamentary thereon were granted
to Martin Shuey and Martin Shuey, the Younger, the Executors
therein named, they being first duly Qualified well and truly to ad-
minister the Estate of the decedent and to Exhibit a true and Perfect
Inventory thereof into the Registers office at Lancaster on or before
the Twenty first day of June next and to Render a true and Just
Account of their Administration on the Said Estate when thereto
lawfully Required. Given under Seal of the Said office.

Peter Hoofnagle, Register.

Recorded and examined with the original June 25th, 1777.

We see, therefore, that Daniel Shuey must have died after the
8th day of May, 1777, and prior to the 21st day of May, 1777.
The exact date of his death was not ascertained.

Daniel lived to see the Declaration of Independence signed
and proclaimed (the Centennial of which we celebrated in the
year the first Shuey History was published), but he did not live
to see peace restored to the land which he sought as a place of
quietness and free from persecutions, when he crossed the wild
ocean, and braved the rough sea and the raging waves. He en-
dured many hardships in this new country, the fruits of which we
reap and enjoy. Perhaps we are sometimes unthankful for these
blessings, thinking little of what it cost others that we might en-
joy this pleasant land and our peaceful homes. Surely one sows
and another reaps.

They did not enjoy at that early period the conveniences of
living which we now enjoy. Looking forward, we can scarcely
imagine that as much progress can be made in the next one hun-
dred and eighty years, or that there will be as much difference
as has taken place in the last eighteen decades. Daniel Shuey's
family lived in a very plain style, eating nothing but plain, com-
mon food. A fuller description of the mode of living at that time
will be furnished under Ludwig Shuey's name.

The author has not been able to ascertain the place where
Daniel Shuey was buried. It is more than likely that he was
buried at Klopp's Church, for his son Ludwig and his wife, Chris-
tian and his wife and daughter Elizabeth are buried there as in-
dicated by the tomb stones. Near these graves the author found

sandstones marking certain graves, but the inscriptions are worn
off and cannot be read. These may be markers for the graves
of Daniel Shuey and wife. They believed in the resurrection of
the dead. Peace to their ashes.

LUDWIG HEINRICH SHUEY

Ludwig Heinrich Shuey (1) eldest son of Daniel Shuey, was
born October 12th 1/26, in some country beyond the sea. He
was, therefore, nearly six years old when he, with his father,
emigrated to America. He was just old enough to remember
vividly the scenes and circumstances of his voyage across the
Atlantic. At that time it usually took from three to nine months
to make the trip ; now it can be accomplished in six days. To
be so long on the water, his youthful mind must have been filled
with thrilling incidents of storms, and no doubt his children
listened with breathless silence to his experience, which he was
wont to relate to them on a long winter evening, when books
and papers were seldom seen, and knowledge then was mostly
derived from general conversation.

His younger years were spent on his father's farm. At

about twenty years of age he married Elizabeth , and

had eight children, viz : John Henry Shuey, John Martin Shuey,
John Shuey, John Ludwig Shuey, Elizabeth Shuey, Christian
Shuey, Catharine Shuey, and John Adam Shuey.

December 21st, 1761, Ludwig bought from his father 6434
acres of land, it being a portion of the 268H acres which Daniel
bought in 1753. This deed is recorded in Book G, page 411,
in the Recorder's office in Lancaster. This deed gave the
assurance that Ludwig Shuey was a son of Daniel Shuey. It
reads as follows: "This Indenture made this 21st day of De-
cember, 1761, Between Daniel Shuey of Bethel township in the
county of Lancaster and Province of Pennsylvania, yeomen,
and Mary Martha his wife of the one part and Ludwick
Shuey [son of said Daniel Shuey] of the township, county and
Province aforesaid, yeoman, of the other part." This was a
part of a tract of 5,000 acres granted to Thomas Penn, dated
at London, May 18, 1732, to be under the yearly quit-rent of
one shilling sterling for each 100 acres. It was assigned to
Joseph Turner, merchant, of Philadelphia, at the same date:
then assigned to William Allen, merchant, of Philadelphia, dated
September 10th, 1735. William Allen and wife Margaret sold

32 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

26824 acres to Daniel Shuey, May 1st, 1753. Daniel Shuey
had this patented November 12th, 1753. Recorded in Philadel-
phia in Patent Book A, Vol. 17, page 496. Record made June
20, 1754. Ludwick paid 70 pounds to his father for the 64^4
acres. It is bounded north by lands of Peter Chips, east Michael
Albright, south Daniel Shuey, west Ludwick Shuey's other lands.
Deed signed August 21st, 1762. Peter Klob and Philip Mars-
teller witnesses. Recorded by Edw. Shippen, November 17th,
1762.

This description shows that Ludwick had a farm prior to
the buying of this one just named.

On November 13th, 1767, John Fox and Terringham Pal-
mer, and other heirs of Joseph Fox of Poles worth, county of
Warwick in Great Britain, granted a deed to Ludwig Shuey for
a farm containing 277 acres, it being a part of a tract contain-
ing 1319 acres. Bounded north by lands of Terringham Palmer,
east by a lot for a Calvinistic meeting-house and lands of Peter
Smith, south by lands of Daniel Shuey and Ludwig Shuey's
other land, west by lands of Jacob and David Pifley. This
land was subject to a "yearly quit-rent of one English silver
shilling." The price paid for this land was 692 pounds. Wit-
nesses present, L. Weis and Richard Whitehead. Acknowl-
edged before "Will Allen, Esq., Chief Justice of the Province
of Pennsylvania." To this deed is a Brief of Title affixed,
of which the following is an extract: "1681, October 21 and 22,

This deed is recorded in Book L, page 298, in the Recorder's
office in Lancaster.

Thus we see that Ludwig was in possession of a good deal of
property, especially real estate. This of course was not as value-
able then as now ; but comparing it with other things of that time,

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 33

its value was proportionally just as great. Thus being in posses-
sion of different tracts of lands, he must have been an industrious
farmer and an enterprising man of his age. We could not ascer-
tain when or from whom he obtained his first farm. Nearly all
those large and valuable farms around Hamlin, P. O., in Bethel
township. Lebanon county, were at some time owned by the
Shuey family. Almost all the houses on those farms are
built close to fine springs of water. The country is very beautiful
and picturesque, and would repay the trouble of any
member of the Shuey family to make a visit to the neighborhood
to see the country.

Ludwig was a member of the Reformed Church. This
we know from several documents. Christopher Royer, Louis
Shuey and Peter Smith, were the trustees of St. Paul's church in
1767. The church holds a patent deed in the name of these
trustees for eight acres and forty-nine perches. This land was
for the use of the "Protestant German Church or Congregation,
called or known by the name of the Reformed Church, in Bethel
Township, Lancaster County, Province of Pennsylvania." We
also find in Swatara Church Record that he had some of his
children (the elder three) baptized. If the Klopp's Church
Records were complete, no doubt we could find the names of his
other children among the list of baptisms. Ludwig lived and
died in the Reformed faith, and brought up his family in the same
hope and belief.

In different documents his name is given in different ways,
viz. : Ludwick, Ludwig, Ludwich Heinrich, and Lewis, which is
the English name for Ludwig. When he signed his own name,
it is given Ludwig.

Tradition says that his family lived very plainly, as far as food
and drink are concerned. They drank nothing but water and milk
(sometimes garden tea), except Sunday morning, when they al-
ways had coffee. Meat was seldom eaten, and in their time it
was considered something quite extra to have meat on the table.
At dinner time only did they have meat, and then the father
would cut it in small pieces, give each one in the family his allotted
share, and with that they had to be satisfiied. They did not
have the privilege of eating as much meat as they desired, but
merely the morsel which was given to them. During the greater
part of the year they had hot mush and cold milk for supper, and
in the morning cold mush and warm milk for breakfast. It
would have been considered too extravagant to have the mush

34 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

fried in fat, as it is now often prepared. Soup, also, of different
kinds, was much used in his family. The plates from which
they ate were made of pewter, and the cups from which they
drank were some kind of earthen mug. They used no table-
cloth. The father sat at one end of the table, the mother at the
other end. The children stood, or sometimes sat along each side
of the table, and ate their meals in silence ; there was very little
talking at the table. Each one ate what was place before him.
and no murmuring was heard. They never partook of a meal
without thanking God for their daily food, and asking a blessing.
This duty belonged either to the father or to the mother. As
soon as the children were old enough to understand its meaning,
they were taught short prayers which they would pray in regular
order, each one his particular and distinct prayer, commencing
with the oldest and ending with the youngest. To many of the
readers of this book this custom may appear strange, but we have
great reverence for this Christian training and custom. We
verily believed that this custom has been kept sacred and
carried out by every generation of the Shuey family down to
the present time. Our family strictly observed this custom until
we children were grown up and left home. It has taught us a
principle which we shall never forget as long as we may live.
These short prayers were usually taken from the Bible. Reader,
scoff not at this custom, practiced by our ancestor and handed
down to us as a sacred memorial ; rather introduce it in your
family, and see whether it will not have a healthful influence on
your children. You may not live to see the fruits, but it will
be bread cast upon the waters, which thou shalt find after many
days. This custom has been continued by the author's family.

No table cloth was used. No carpets graced the floor, but
every Saturday they were made to assume a perfectly white and
clean appearance, under the operation of water, white sand and
broom. The furniture of the house was as simple and plain as
their fare. Where seats could be placed stationary, large square
blocks were used, as for instance on each side of the hearth. A
stove was unknown then. Some benches were used for seats,
and a few chairs, which were home-made ; the seats plaited with
broad, smooth-shaved slips of white-oak or hickory. Several
beds and a few chests made up the principal part of the furniture.

Thus they lived in a plain and simple way, but were com-
fortable, and what is still better, well contented. Their peace

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 05

and happiness however was considerably disturbed by a wild and
savage tribe, viz, the Indians. No doubt these Indians were
often wronged and unfairly dealt with, and they, being uncivilized,
soon looked upon the whole race of "pale-faced men" as enemies,
and were not slow in giving vent to their feelings whenever they
came in contact with the white people. We have no direct source
of knowledge of these Indian troubles at the particular place
where the Shueys lived, but we have enough history of the
county in close proximity to convince us that they did not escape
these persecutions.

There were several forts near the Shuey farm, where the in-
habitants used to assemble in order to protect themselves and
their families.

Prof. I. D. Rupp, in his History of Lebanon county, says :
"The inhabitants of this region of country were kept in continual
alarm during the spring, summer, and autumn of this year (1757)
on account of the murders committed by the Indians. One fails in
the attempt to describe the perils of the frontier settlers at these
times. The heart shrinks from portraying the scenes of horror ;
the barbarous murderers butchered the whites in the field — at
their meals — in bed — at every unguarded hour. Who would not
sicken to view, in imagination, scalps clotted with gored, man-
gled limbs, women ripped open, the heart and bowels still palpita-
ting with life and smoking on the ground — see savages swilling,
as it were, human blood, and imbibing a more courageous fury
with the human draught — see the living, not captives, fleeing for
life, while the Indians are in hot pursuit!" Many men were
killed, and the children carried off to Canada. The farmer was
obliged to carry a gun while he was plowing in the field ; and
even then many were killed without the least intimation of the
approach of an enemy. During the Indian trouble, the men
attended church with loaded guns and other defensive weapons.
Of some pastors, it is said they were doubly armed ; first by faith
in the certain 'protection of an all-ruling Providence; second in
their guns, which they had often with them in the pulpit. Many
traditional accounts of these Indian troubles have been handed
down to us, through our ancestors.

As far as we can learn, none of the members of the Shuey
family suffered death at their hands. There are yet several build-
ings standing in the neighborhood which are pointed out to us
as buildings of safety during that time ; where no less than fifteen
to twenty families occupied one house, in order to assist one

36 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

another in keeping away the savages and to protect them-
selves and their children. Being obliged to do their cooking on
the hearth, not all of the families could cook on the same day.
Sometimes persons were shot by Indians in ambush while going
from the house to the spring or to the barn. The dreadful state
of affairs can easily be imagined by the reader. Our Indian
troubles in the West have been as nothing in comparison to the
trouble at that time. Now our frontiers are protected by a
United States army ; then frontier men had to rely on their own
strength and power. The country was then under the control of
England, and no army was held to drive back the maraud-
ers. Let the troubles of the past rest with the past. Let us not
call to mind the dreadful calamities through which our ancestors
had to pass.

The Indians had little idea where the white men came from, and
probably this was one reason why they were so much opposed
to them, and sought every opportunity to slay them. The Indi-
ans said that the white men came out of the earth beyond the
sea, and should have remained there ; that they came to rob them
of their hunting grounds and make it more laborious to fish,
and that disease was more frequent among them since the intro-
duction of intoxicating liquors." We must acknowledge that
there is a great deal of truth in the latter part of this sentence —
that they often were robbed of their hunting grounds, and we be-
lieve too that intoxicating liquors bring on disease. Many super-
stitious stories were told about the Indians in Pennsyl-
vania by unwise parents, and naughty children were quieted,
who ever afterward were afraid to be out at night for fear the
Indian will come up out of his grave and rob or scalp them.
Many superstitious people declare that they have heard Indians
shout or scream when out at night, who, if they would have
taken time to think and examine, would have found the
Indian to be nothing more than an owl or the wind howling
through the trees. Indian arrow-heads have often been plowed
up or found on the ground.

Ludwig Shuey was not actively engaged in the Revolutionary
War, the end of which he was not permitted to see ; but he was
in full sympathy with it, and extended his aid in so far as he
was able. We quote from history, which defines his position
authentically :

"November 22d, 1774. The committee of this borough (Lancaster)
met and the following hand-bill by them ordered to be printed, and
sent to, and put up at all the public places in this county, viz.:

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 37

To the Freeholders and Electors of the County of Lancaster:
The committee for the borough of Lancaster, taking in their con-
sideration the resolves and recommendations of the American Conti-
nental Congress, request that the freeholders and others qualified to
vote for Representatives in Assembly for the county, would meet at
the court-house, in Lancaster, on Thursday, the fifteenth day of De-
cember next, to choose by ballot sixty proper persons for a com-
mittee, to observe the conduct of all persons touching the general
Association of the general Congress; which committee, it is proposed,
when elected shall divide the county into different districts, and ap-
point members of the committee to superintend each district, and
any six of the members so appointed for a district to be a quorum
for transacting business.

"It will be necessary, previous to the general election, that each
township shall elect a proper person to act as inspector, and receive
the tickets of the electors on that day."*

On the said 15th day of December, in pursuance to the notice
above mentioned, a general election was held at the borough of
Lancaster, for this county, and the following persons were chosen
as and for a part of the committee : from Bethel township, being
a part of the 4th district, Ludwig Shuey, Casper Corr, and John
Bishon.

Several meetings of this committee were held immediately af-
ter the election. At one of these meeting the following letter
was received from the Committee on Correspondence of the City
of Philadelphia, dated the 22d of December, 1774:

Gentlemen: — By order of the Committee of the City and Liberties
of Philadelphia, we have the pleasure to transmit to you the following
resolves, passed this day with great unanimity, viz.:

"That this committee think it absolutely necessary that the com-
mittees of the counties of this province, or such deputies as they may
appoint for this purpose, be requested to meet together in provincial
convention as soon as convenient.

"That it be recommended to the county committees to meet in said
convention, on Monday, the 23d day of January next, in the city of
Philadelphia."

From a view of the present situation of public affairs, the commit-
tee have been induced to propose this convention, that the sense of
the province may be obtained; and that measures to be. taken there-
upon, may be the result of the united wisdom of the colony.

The obvious necessity of giving an immediate consideration to
many matters of the greatest importance to the general welfare, will
we hope, sufficiently apologize to you for naming so early a day as
the 23d of January.

We are, gentlemen, respectfully,

Your humble servants, (Signed.)

The following letter from the committee of correspondence of
the county Berks was sent to the committee of Lancaster county,
viz. :

Gentlemen: — Enclosed is an abstract from the proceedings of the
committee of this county, by which you will see that deputies are ap-
pointed to attend the proposed provincial convention.

When we consider that our disputes are drawing fast to a crisis,
and that the most cordial unanimity is absolutely necessary for our
preservation, we cannot doubt but that your respectable committee
will without hesitation appoint deputies to attend the provincial con-
gress. The neglect of any one county may have the most fatal conse-
quences. And we well know the pleasure it would give our enemies
to see even the appearance of a disunion at this very important time.
The great consequence of this subject will, we hope, apologize for
this freedom.

We are, gentlemen, with the greatest respect,

Your most obedient humble servants,

Committee of Correspondence.
Reading, January 5, 1775.

At a meeting of the Committee of Inspection of the county of
Lancaster, at the court-house in Lancaster, on the 14th day of
January, 1775, Edward Shippen, was chosen chairman.

It was unanimously agreed that in case of any difference in
sentiments, the question proposed to be determined by the mem-
bers of the committee voting by townships.

A letter from the Committee of Correspondence of the City and
Liberties of Philadelphia, and another letter from the Commit-
tee of Correspondence of Berks county, were then read ; and it
being put to vote whether this committee would appoint deputies
to meet the other counties of this province in provincial conven-
tion, on Monday, the 23d January instant, the same was carried
in the affirmative.

The vote in this instance was taken by townships. Bethel
township, of whose committee Ludwig Shuey was a member and
its chairman, voted in the affirmative.

The duties of this committee of sixty persons were various
and manifold. In one instance, a man was brought before the
committee charged with having a dancing-school, "which comes
within the meaning of the eighth article of the Association of

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 39

the Continental Congress, and the same ought, at the present,
during the unhappy dispute with the mother country, to be dis-
continued." The gentleman referred to being sent for, waited
upon the committee, and being informed of the sentiments of this
committee, agreed and promised to break up and discontinue his
said school.

At another time complaint was made to the Committee that a
certain shop keeper had sold tea, contrary to the Association of
the Continental Congress. He, too, was summoned to appear
before the committee to answer to the charge.

In this way the committee had to keep watch over the people,
and to observe the conduct of all persons living within its juris-
diction. This was at a very critical period of our national his-
tory, and we infer that Ludwig Shuey must have been one of the
most, prominent citizens of Bethel township or he would not have
been placed at the head of this committee and intrusted with such
responsible affairs. This was the last public act which Ludwig
performed. Very soon after these actions had been taken by the
committee, which we quoted, Ludwig passed away from an active
and earthly life to a spiritual and heavenly. He did not live to
see the land which he sought with his father when but a mere boy
as a peaceful home, proclaimed free and independent. But he
was anxious to have the country formed into a separate govern-
ment, and he took what part he could to establish it. Sixteen
months after his death, the Declaration of Independence was
signed and proclaimed, the centennial of which was celebrated in
1876, and therefore we enlarged somewhat on this point in this
history. The many noble needs which Ludwig did in life are not
all recorded. He died on the 25th day of February, 1775, aged
48 years, 4 months and 13 days. His remains were interred in the
graveyard at Klopp's church, where a heavy sand-stone marks his
resting place. This stone furnished the information for this his-
tory, as to the birth and death of Ludwig Shuey. The letters are
so much washed off from the stone by the rains of a hundred
and more years that they have become illegible, and it was only
by means of tracing them with the index finger that the author
was enabled to make out the inscription, which is in the German
language and reads as follows :

"Hier liegt in seiner ruhe der Leichman von Ludwig Heinrich
Shiiy. Geboren den 12d October, 1726. Gestorben Februar den
25, 1775. Alt 48 Yahre 4 Monat und 13 Tage."

On the side of his grave is found a marble headstone which
indicates the grave of his wife Elizabeth Shuey, who was born

40 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

April 20th, 1726, and died February 20th, 1792, aged 65 years
and ten months.

Many of the facts recorded in the pages of this history were
taken from the headstones of the graves of the departed ones of
the Shuey family. It is a beautiful custom to have the remem-
brance of our dead marked in this prominent and permanent way,
to be read and studied by their descendants a hundred years and
more afterwards. This, in many cases, was the only record that
could be found of certain individuals of the Shuey family.

Before Ludwig Shuey died, he made his last will and testa-
ment, and disposed of his earthly estates as will be shown in the
following pages.

He makes mention in his will to have his children educated.
He was also very particular in giving his wife sufficient for a good
living. He enumerated every article that she was to have, and
how much grain, etc., yearly. The will is here given to the reader
in full as copied from a literal translation of the original copy,
recorded in the Register's Office in Lancaster, Book C, page 274.
Both the original Will and the literal translation from the German
are on file in the office.

In the Name of God Amen.

John Gunckel

/. John Henry Shuey. (2).

John Henry Shuey, eldest son of Ludwig Shuey, was born
March 9th, 1748, in Bethel township, Lancaster county, Penn-
sylvania. When but a few months old he was baptized in the
Reformed Church and his baptism is recorded in the Swatara
church book, with Henry Souder (single) and Anna Maria Stine
(single) as sponsors. In his youth at the proper age he attended
a course of catechetical instructions, and was confirmed a mem-
ber of the Reformed Church. His younger days were spent with
his father on the farm, and in consequence thereof he likewise
became a farmer. His education was limited to such teaching
as the common schools of that time afforded. He made the best
of his opportunities, and received sufficient education to enable
him to transact his business affairs correctly.

When he was grown up and of proper age, he joined himself
in wedlock to a farmer's daughter, and soon afterwards moved
to Hanover township, Lancaster county, afterwards Dauphin
county, and now Lebanon county. Here he bought a tract of
land from David Theiss for fifty pounds, on the 17th day of
November, 1773. This was the one-eighth part of a tract con-
taining three hundred acres. Finding this piece of land insuffi-
cient for his purpose, he bought the other seven-eighths part, on
the 24th day of November, 1774, from Michael Theiss and his
father, Ludwig Shuey, for six hundred pounds. A good part of
this was woodland, but enough of farming land to give him
sufficient employment.

Enterprise was Henry's watchword, and soon after coming into
possession of this large quantity of land, he proceeded to erect
a better dwelling house. In 1775 he built a substantial one-story
log house on this land, on the bank of Shuey 's creek. This house
was built of heavy logs, and was afterwards rebuilt so as to make
it two stories high instead of one. This second story was only
added to the lower story, and this same house is still standing
and in good repair, though 144 years old, on the farm later owned
by E. B. Shuey, a great grandson of Henry Shuey. Buying such
a large farm and building a new house was considerable of a
burden to carry for a beginner; but by his perseverance he soon

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 43

cleared himself of this debt, and already on the 7th of Novem-
ber, 1794, we find him buying another tract containing one hun-
dred acres, situated in Upper Paxton township, Dauphin county,
for thirty pounds in gold or silver, as the deed says. This was
at the rate of about $1.50 an acre. This last tract he bought
from John Stahlman, and the deed represents it as lying on "both
sides of the Wickinisky Creek." Henry must have considered
November a good month for buying land ; as will be noticed,
these three pieces were bought in this month.

Not satisfied with what he had here accumulated, he bought
another tract on the 27th of February, 1795, containing fifteen
and a half acres, from Mathias Henning, for one hundred and
twenty- five pounds. This tract joins his other land on the north-
east. Again, on the 9th of April, 1803, he bought a farm of
eighty acres from Conrad Roth, for six hundred and fifty pounds.
This last farm latterly belonged to Henry Shuey, near Ranks-
town, and later was owned by Ephraim Shuey. He also pur-
chased several smaller tracts adjoining this farm. Thus Henry
had accumulated sufficient property to give his children a start
in life.

In the first Shuey history it is stated that Henry Shuey was
not a military man and took no part in the Revolutionary War.
The author sincerely regrets that he had not investigated official
records at that time. In the revision and investigation for this
book a very pleasing discovery was made. He was indeed a
military man and not only took interest in the war for freedom
but gave his personal service. This is verified by the following
official certificate.

This military spirit has been perpetuated in the descendants
of Henry Shuey in a direct line through five generations, each

44 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

generation rendering valuable military service. Notwithstanding
this record no family can be found that loves peace more in-
tensely than the Shuey family.

Henry was a very energetic man, and as a result of his in-
dustrious habits he became possessed of a great deal of property.
He was an excellent farmer, and gave his sons a thorough train-
ing in that particular pursuit. His sons became farmers after
him, and a large number of their descendants, to this day, are
engaged in the same pursuit.

When Henry moved to Hanover township, there was an old
house standing on the farm which he bought (afterwards owned
by E. B. Shuey,) which they occupied until the new house was
built. This house stood several hundred yards south of the pres-
ent house, a little to the east of the lane, near a large ash tree.
The place where the bake-oven stood is still recognized when
the ground is freshly plowed, from the fact that the ground is
very black, being mixed with charcoal. A little below this place
is a small spring which is not now used. It is said that a spring-
house stood over this spring. A tree stood just above the spring,
and the author well remembers the stump of that tree, around
which we children used to play. No trace of it is left now. The
farm houses, formerly, were all built near the creek, and this old
farm house stood only a few yards from the creek. The house
which he built likewise stands just above the bank of the creek.
This is called Shuey's Creek, and after it leaves the Shuey lands
it unites with Walmer's Creek and forms Reed's Creek, which
flows into the Swatara a little above Harpers and then empties
into the Susquehanna river at Middletown, Pa.

This house which Henry built has become a place of some
significance, inasmuch as it is the birth-place and the residence
in early life not only of his children, but also of his grand-chil-
dren and great-grandchildren. It is the place where the writer
of this history was born and passed his early life, and it has thus
become a place of such endearment that the reader will pardon
this description of it at some length. The heavy logs with which
the house was built attract the attention of all who visit the place.
The roof is very high in the middle, and the rafters are heavy
timbers. Before it was rebuilt the house had a small roof about
three feet wide all around the building, between the first and sec-
ond floor windows, according to the style of those days. This
was attached when it was made two stories high. There was a
very large chimney in the middle of the house, built of rough

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 45

mountain stone, which took away about one-eighth of the space
of the house. The partitions in the house were all made of boards,
nicely panelled, the same as the doors are usually made. It has
since been weather-boarded and painted, the partitions and large
chimney torn out and others put in, the floors relaid, the rooms
changed, and nothing is left but the external form of the original
house, which has now served a full century and a half, and is of
sufficient strength to last another fifty years. This place was
formerly called "Shewey's Bower," according to some records,
and it has held the name Shuey more than one hundred and fifty
years, and it will be a regret to many that it has lately lost that
name. There are many hallowed scenes and associations con-
nected with this place, which are held in sacred remembrance by
more than one who has been permitted to enjoy the sheltering
roof of the "old homestead."

The descendants of John Henry Shuey now number thous-
ands of persons, all of whom can lay claim to this house as their
paternal protector against winds and storms, cold and heat, rain
and sunshine, and they no doubt regard it as a monument of the
activity and perseverance of their ancestor. It has also become
a house of justice, where many a strife has been brought to a
close, at least in actions if not in the minds of the different op-
posing parties. It has likewise been the scene of gala days, where
"two hearts that beat like one and two souls with but one
thought" have been legally declared one, according to the right
which is vested in the office of Justice of the Peace, by the
authority of the State of Pennsylvania.

Henry Shuey married Barbara Tice, about the year 1770,
and then reared a large family, having in all twelve children,
who all grew up with the exception of one. The names of the
children are as follows: Elizabeth, Henry, Barbara, Ludwig
Maria, Christiana, Eve, Catharine, Christian, David, John and
Margaret.

Being possessed of a good deal of land, he had work for all
his children, and thus could keep them together while they were
being educated and taught how to work, so that they could make
a living by honest toil. He was a religious man, and brought up
his children in the fear of the Lord. He was a strict member
of the Reformed Church, and worshiped in Walmer's church,
where he, at different times, held offices in said church. He died
a comparatively young man having fallen asleep in Jesus on the
15th day of October, 1804, aged 56 years, 7 months and 6 days.

46 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

His remains were interred in the graveyard at Walmer's church,
where a headstone marks the place.

His wife, Barbara Shuey, survived him by ten years, she
having died June 8th, 1814, at the age of 65 years, 7 months and
15 days. She is buried beside her husband and her grave is
also marked by a headstone.

I. Anna Elizabeth Shuey. (3)
Eldest daughter of Henry Shuey, was born October 6th, 1771.
In 1775, when the new house was finished, Elizabeth was so de-
lighted that she ran through the whole house, hardly knowing
how to contain herself. She died soon afterwards, exact date not
known. She is buried in Walmer's church graveyard.

II. John Henry Shuey (3)
Was born January 17th, 1773. He was baptized soon after in
Walmer's Reformed Church. His sponsors were Martin Shuey
and wife. It might be well to state here that formerly the chil-
dren were always brought into the church, and baptized there.
This was significant of their induction into the church, and by the
act of baptism they became members of the church. They also had
sponsors at that time, who promised to assist the parents in bring-
ing up the child in nurture and the admonition of the Lord. In
most cases the child was named after one of the sponsors. Henry
was a farmer all his life-time, and lived near Bordner's store,
on the farm afterwards owned by Levi Bixler, in Union town-
ship, Lebanon county, then Hanover township, Dauphin county,
Pa. He was somewhat of a military man, and the militia used
to drill at his house. His name is also found on the Muster Roll
of the War of 1812-14.

The official record shows that Henry Shuey was a Private
in Captain Abraham Stine's company, 117th Regiment, First
Brigade, Sixth Division, taken for August 8, 1814, Jonestown.
See page 386, Volume 7, Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series.

He married Mrs. Barbara Miller, a daughter of xAmdrew Ger-
berich. They had six children, viz : — Barbara, Eve, Henry, George,
Elizabeth and Rebecca. After her death he married Elizabeth
Bender, who bore him five children, viz : — Catharine, David,
Jacob, Thomas and Magdalena. At this time their nearest
market for grain and produce was Philadelphia. With a large
team and several farmers in company they would start on a
Monday morning, drive to Philadelphia sell out and return home,
requiring a full week, to Saturday evening, to make a single

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 47

trip. Now we can leave home in the morning, go to Philadel-
phia, transact considerable business, and return the same day.
Henry was making one of his trips to Philadelphia during the
latter part of October, 1828, and while stopping at a hotel at the
Trappe, in Montgomery county, he was seized with a fit of
coughing, and died from what was supposed to be an internal
rupture. His body was brought home and buried in Walmer's
church graveyard, but no tombstone marks his grave. His age
was 55 years, 9 months and 6 days. He died October 23d, 1828.
He was a useful man in his time, and was highly respected by
his neighbors. He was always ready to assist them when neces-
sity required it, and thus had the good will of the community in
which he lived. As a farmer he was successful, but on account
of his generosity ,and his good will to others he never became
possessed of much property. Having reared a large family, he
could not do much more than give each one a start in business.

Lebanon county, Pennsylvania, was organized February 16,
1813, taken from the eastern portion of Dauphin county, which
was formerly the northern part of Lancaster county which
is rich in early history, and is often mentioned in this book. In
1817, Peter Gloninger, Henry Shuey and Daniel Henning, com-
missioners of Lebanon county, purchased a lot in the town of
Lebanon from Philip Greenwalt, and upon this lot a substantial
Court House was erected which is still used as the seat of justice.
In the vaults of the county office in this building the author had
access to many of the old records mentioned in this book. The
fact that Henry Shuey was one of the county commissioners
proves that he was one of the prominent men of the county during
its organizing period.

1. Barbara Shuey (4) was born July 13, 1798. In her youth
she was baptized and afterwards became a communicant member

author saw an old clock with this inscription on it. "Die zeit
geht hin, es kommt der todt".' The time is passing and death is
coming. On a tablet in the outside wall of the house is the fol-
lowing in capital letters : — "Gott gesegne dieses haus, und was da
geht ein und aus, Gott allein die Ehr, sonst den keinem mehr.

He remained on the farm with his father until he was grown.
His father died when Christian was twenty years old. He was a
member of the Reformed Church. He married Maria Magdalena
Heilman, of Heilman Dale, and commenced farming on the old
homestead, which he had purchased. He was better educated than

the majority of his neighbors and soon became a prominent man in
his community. He was captain of a militia company, which was
called into active service, for a short time in the war of 1812-1814.
In answer to an inquiry the following abstract of a letter says,
"Pennsylvania, State Library, Harrisburg, Pa., March 4, 1917,
Christian Shuey was a Captain in the 117th Regiment, First
Brigade, Sixth Division, Pennsylvania Militia, service rendered in
September, 1814. H. H. Shenk, Custodian of the Public Records."
The author's grandmother often said that her husband's company
was called out for actual service, that he marched his men as far
as York, Pa., (there being no railroads at that time) on their way
to Baltimore, but after remaining a short time at York they were
ordered home as their further services were not needed.

On Friday, Alay 23, 1919 the author spent some time in the
Public Library of Pennsylvania at Harrisburg. He received addi-
tional information through H. H. Shenk, Custodian of Public
Records.

Shuey Captain. — "Statement of Expenditures by Christian
Spayd, Inspector 1st Brigade, 6th Division for the pay of sundry
officers of his brigade for notifying the drafted militia to march
to the place of rendezvous under the general orders of the Gover-
nor, 1814, Captain Shuey— $5.00. "See pages 864,915, Volume
Nine, Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series.

Also — Captain Christian Shuey, Captain of the Second draft,
117th Regiment, First Brigade, Sixth Division, Jonestown,
August 8, 1814. See page 386 Volume Seven, Pennsylvania
Archives, Sixth Series.

Also Captain Christian Shuey received $16.00 pay for 12
days service in the 117 Regiment, in September 1814. See page
866, Volume 9 Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series.

On the 17th of September, 1823, Governor Joseph Hiester
appointed him Justice of the Peace, which office he held for
twenty years, and was in office when he died. At this early
period, the office was by appointment ; but when it was made an
elective office, he was elected to said office by the voters of his
township. He was familiarly known as 'Squire Shuey. Many
a strife between neighbors was settled and peace restored in his
office, among those who could not adjust their difficulties them-
selves. He was fond of entertaining company and his house was
seldom without guests. He had a large circle of friends, who
found pleasure in being in his company. His noble wife was fully
capable to do her part to make strangers welcome. She was

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 89

affable, kind, and well adapted for entertaining company. He
was a Republican, or Federal as they were then called, and took
an active part in politics. He was a useful man in society, and
many a neighbor turned to him for advice. He was greatly
esteemed by his neighbors, and they manifested their respect for
him in a very substantial way. Being away from home, he met
with an accident in mounting his horse, which resulted in break-
ing his leg. As soon as he was somewhat recovered, and was
able to be removed, his neighbors evinced their regard for him
by actually carrying him home on a litter, a distance of six miles.
In 1815 he built a new barn on the old homestead, and he also
rebuilt the house which his father had built. Both of these build-
ings are in good condition and in constant use in this year 1919.
He had several other tracts of land, and was in good financial
circumstances. He was a member of the Grand Jury of Lebanon
county, August 5, 1839, as was also his brother David Shuey,
and likewise Peter Bashore, the author's grandfather on his
mother's side. At the same session of court, John Shuey, another
brother was a member of the Traverse Jury. Christian was a
faithful member of the Reformed Church and at differ-
ent times held office in Walmer's church. They had six children :
— John H., Elizabeth, Catharine, Amos, Adam and Sarah.

The will of Christian Shuey, bearing date August 23, 1840,
Will Book C, page 24, in the office in Lebanon, states that he
charges his son Amos $5,000 for the plantation containing 185
acres, of which sum Amos can retain $2,000 for his share. This
$2,000 perhaps was intended to cover the following provision.
Christian's wife shall have the use of the two east lower rooms
and the southeast upper room in the house. Also room in the
cellar, spring-house and garden ; one cow and feed for the same,
12 bushels of good, clean wheat, 5 bushels rye, 5 bushels Indian
corn, 200 pounds good, fresh pork, 100 pounds good beef of the
hind quarter, 4 pounds good, clean wool, 4 gallons good apple-
butter and as many potatoes and apples as she may want. These
things were to be given yearly to her. If his wife becomes sick or
infirm, then Amos is to procure her a good and careful maid
who will be able and willing to nurse her and do her work well.
Also gives his wife $500 in cash. The executors are to sell all
other real estate, personal and mixed property and the estate is
then to be equally divided between the five children: John H.
Shuey, Amos Shuey, Catharine Long, Adam Shuey and Sarah
Shuey. The signing of the will was witnessed by Thomas Ger-

90 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

berich and Jacob Weidle. This was ample provision for his wife
after his death, but in making this will Christian did not antici-
pate that his son Amos would die within ten years, while his wid-
ow would continue to live about 20 years longer. But the terms
of this will were faithfully carried out by the widow of Amos
Shuey while she occupied the farm as a renter, and then by the
two sons, Ephraim and Edward, who purchased the farm, accord-
ing to appraisement, when they became of age. All of these
supplies were not needed by the widow but she sold such portion
not used and accumulated the funds not otherwise needed. The
earthly career of Christian Shuey was ended on the 21st of Sep-
tember, 1843. He died in peace at the age of 59 years and 4 days.
His remains and of his wife were buried in the Walmer's Church
old graveyard.

Mrs. Shuey sprang from a real German family whose family
history has been traced back several centuries. Her grandfather,
Hans Adam Heylman, arrived in Philadelphia, Sept. 9, 1738, in
the Ship Snow Two Sisters, James Marshall, Master, from Rot-
terdam, last from Cowes. He settled in Lebanon county, Pa., in
what was later called Heilman Dale. Here he died, Sept. 25„
1770. He had one son, John Adam Heilman, born Aug. 2, 1745
(old style). The author is in receipt of a letter dated March 29,
1917, from H. H. Shenk, Custodian of the Public Records of
Pennsylvania, in which he says : "Referring to your letter, I take
pleasure in saying that Adam Heilman, sometimes John Adam
Heilman and sometimes Heylman, was a soldier of the American
Revolution. There is in existence a copy of his Second Lieuten-
ant's Commission, bearing date of August 28, 1775, and with this
statement signed by him fifty years afterward, as translated from
the German, 'This August, 1826, it is fifty years since I was a
soldier in New York, helping to bring about our freedom.' I
cannot tell where the original is. I have a fac-simile copy before
me." Dr. S. P. Heilman, Secretary of the Lebanon County
Historical Society, and a grandnephew of Mrs. Shuey, says in
a letter to the author, that John Adam Heilman (the immigrant)
was born Nov. 20, 1715, who was a son of John Jacob Heylman,
born Oct. 24, 1684, whose father, Hans (John) Dietrich Heyl-
man, was born March 4, 1664, and whose father, also named
Hans Dietrich Heylman, was born in 1610. He says he has this
information from original sources in Zutzenhausen, where the
original Heylman lived before coming to America.

Mrs. Shuey's father, John Adam Heilman, married Catharine,
daughter of Peter and Barbara Schmidt, whose maiden name was

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 91

Lobengut, on January 22, 1771. They had eight sons and five
daughters. He died October 4, 1827, aged 82 years, 1 month
and 20 days. This family is somewhat remarkable on account of
arriving at a good old age, and we therefore insert the names and
give the dates ; one of the members of the family being Mrs.
Shuey, the author's grandmother. John Adam Heilman,
born' October 4. 1771, died March 30, 1833, aged 61
years, 5 months and 16 days ; John Heilman, born
Aug. 4, 1773, died April 4, 1833, aged 59 years and 8 months;
Anna Christina, married to Henry Miller, born Feb. 11, 1775,
died Sept. 14, 1866, aged 91 years, 7 months and 3 days; Anna
Catharine, married to Henry Mays, born Sept. 23, 1777, died
Dec. 6, 1840, aged 63 years, 2 months and 13 days; John Henry,
born Aug. 19, 1779, died Nov. 11, 1867, aged 88 years, 2 months
and 21 days ; John Jacob, born Oct. 8, 1780, died Feb. 17, 1842,
aged 61 years, 4 months and 9 days ; John Philip, born Dec. 28,
1781, died July 29, 1856, aged 74 years, 7 months and 1 day;
Sabina, married to Valentine Mays, born Feb. 6, 1783, died April
29, 1871, aged 88 years, 2 months and 23 days ; Maria Magdalena,
married to Christian Shuey, born June 15, 1789, died Sept. 14,
1870, aged 81 years, 2 months and 30 days. Taking now the
ages of the parents and the children here mentioned, we have an
average for these 11 persons of 73 years, 6 months and 26 days.
It is doubtful whether another such family existed. Four of the
children are not mentioned here, who died young, and the dates
are not at hand. Another peculiarity of the family is that each
of the male persons bears the name John. The old family Bible
of John Adam Heilman, in which are recorded very accurately
the births of the children, even mentioning the hour of birth, de-
scended to the youngest child, Mrs. Shuey, and is now in the
possession of the author of this volume. It is more than one
hundred and fifty years old.

This Bible was printed in Nuernberg in 1765. It is substan-
tially bound in vellum on boards nearly half an inch thick, with
brass corners and clasps. It is fifteen and one-fourth inches long,
ten inches wide and four and one-half inches thick. It contains
1,181 pages of the Bible proper and 120 pages of other reading
matter, a total of 1,301 pages, and weighs thirteen pounds. Its
title page is in two-color type. It is fully illustrated with copper
plate pictures, which are quite elaborate. It contains an alpha-
betical register of "the foremost faith and life-points of chris-
tian instruction." Also a chronological table of principal events

92 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

recorded in the Old and New Testament. A register of the his-
tory and meaning of biblical names. A concordance of the prom-
inent sayings of Moses and the prophets used by Christ and the
Apostles in the New Testament. A history with the pictures of
the princes, mostly of Saxony, who promulgated and protected
the true faith, notwithstanding persecutions. It also contains the
apocryphal books in full. This large Bible, Grandmother Shuey
read through many times during her life ; especially in her latter
years it was her constant companion in her devotions.

1. John Heilman Shuey (4), was born Feb. 23, 1809. He
was baptized on the 31st of May, 1809. His younger years were
spent on his father's farm, but he made good use of his time
while at school. He studied surveying in Harrisburg, taking
great delight and interest in this subject, and for the sake of prac-
tice he surveyed every field on the old homestead and farm. He
bought a store in Jonestown, and commenced general merchan-
dising business, which, owing to his inexperience, proved unsuc-
cessful. Feeling that his prospect for success in the future was
not the best, he concluded to go west. At that time all traveling
was by stage coach. He went to the southern part of Ohio, and
settled at Hamilton, in Butler county. Ohio was then a new
country, and was spoken of as "away out west." Here he entered
a store as clerk, then became clerk in a bank, and thus continued
to rise until he had a store of his own. Later he sold out and
bought one-half interest in a paper mill in Hamilton, in which
business he continued successfully until the Civil War, when he
sold out. On December 17, 1840, he married Elizabeth Mayhew,
a woman of culture, and four children were born : Anna, William,
Alfred and Ellen. To afford them a better opportunity of ac-
quiring an education, he left Hamilton and moved to Oxford,
where three colleges were located. He was one of the founders of
the Western Female Seminary, now the Western College, at Ox-
ford. When this institution was destroyed by fire it was supposed
that on account of financial embarrassment it could not again be
rebuilt ; but, as their next catalogue stated, it was through the
energy of Mr. Shuey that the institution was again built up.

At a meeting of the Directors of the Second National Bank
of Hamilton, and without first consulting him, Mr. Shuey was
elected its cashier. He accepted this position, and drove to Ham-
ilton every morning. He was considered one of the best penmen
in the southern part of Ohio.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 93

As Mrs. Shuey, an invalid, desired to move to a healthier cli-
mate, Mr. Shuey resigned his position as cashier of the bank in
the spring of 1866, sold his fine property in Oxford, which was
opposite Miami University, and moved with his family to Minne-
apolis. Here he built himself a fine residence on Tenth Street,
but before it was quite completed, Mrs. Shuey died.

Mr. Shuey was a member of the Reformed Church in Penn-
sylvania ; but when he came to Hamilton, and found no Reformed
Church, he connected himself with the Presbyterian Church.
After they moved to Minneapolis, they became members of the
Congregational Church. He was a strict churchman, and reared
a Christian family. He was highly esteemed by all who knew
him. After an illness of but a few days, he died August 2, 1868,
at the age of 59 years, 5 months and 10 days. He lies buried in
the beautiful cemetery on the banks of Lake Calhoun at Minne-
apolis, beside his wife.

1. Anna Bodman Shuey (5) was born January 14, 1842. She
was educated at the Western Female Seminary at Oxford, Ohio.
On June 9, 1859, she was married to Dr. John L. Reynolds, mak-
ing their home in Minneapolis after a short residence in Oxford,
Ohio, and Knightstown, Ind. They had two children, Alice (6)
now Mrs. Alice R. Hush, and Bertie (6) who died in infancy.
Dr. Reynolds died soon after their removal to Minneapolis, where
his widow is now living. She has for many years been a member
of Plymouth Congregational Church.

2. William Henry Shuey (5) was born August 12, 1844, at
Hamilton, Ohio. He was educated at Williston Seminary, East
Hampton, Mass., and at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. He
served in the Civil War as First Sergeant in Company A, 86th
Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

On December 5, 1865, he married Eleanor Baxter Sanders, of
Northampton, Mass., removing directly to Minneapolis, where
they had three children, Elizabeth, Agnes, and Albert. Mrs.
Shuey died January 10, 1872. Mr. Shuey was a partner in the
firm of Barnard and Shuey, furniture manufacturers, Minne-
apolis, until the destruction of their factory by fire, March 5,
1872, after which he resided in St. Paul and New York City,
locating in Chicago, December 6, 1886, where he now resides in
the suburban village of Oak Park.

Immediately upon his arrival in Chicago he assumed the busi-
ness management of the Railway Age, now the Railway Age
Gazette, the most important railway journal published, from the
active work of which he retired July 1, 1908.

94 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

During the winter of 1909-10 Mr. Shuey made a tour around
the world, starting east from New York and returning by way of
San Francisco, visiting the important cities of Italy, Egypt, India,
Ceylon, Burma, Java, Borneo, Philippine Islands, China, Japan,
and Hawaii.

He is a member of the First Congregational Church of Oak
Park, where he is in charge of the music, having what is con-
ceded to be one of the best, if not the very best, quartet choirs
in Chicago and suburbs.

church choirs and oratorios and it is said of her that never has
she refused to use her God-given talents for charity. She is an

2. Amos Shuey (4) was born Aug. 17, 1815, and was bap-
tized on the first of October, 1815, with Henry and Elizabeth

Boeshore, born April 21, 1790. Died May 6, 1859. Mrs. Shuey
also was of French Huguenot descent. Probably her ancestor
was George Bashore, who settled in Bethel township, Berks
county, prior to 1738. Prof. I. D. Rupp, who was a descendent
of this family, says the name Bashore is a corruption of Le Bai-
seur. They had nine children : Ephraim, Edward, Anson, Eliza,
Dennis, Allen, Jacob, an infant, and Anna Maria. He rented the
old homestead from his father and afterwards bought the farm.
He likewise was the owner of several other tracts of land, and
also of more than three hundred acres of woodland on the south

side of the Blue Mountain. Though he had attained but a limited
education, yet he was usually chosen the secretary of any meet-
ing held for public interest in the community. He desired that
his children should be educated, and all but one became school
teachers. He was a faithful member of the Reformed Church
and held different offices in said church, and when the new Wal-
mer's Church was erected in 1850 he held the office of treasurer.
He was one of the organizers, in October, 1843, of the first Sun-
day school in Walmer's Church, which was organized with but
thirteen present the first Sunday, both Mr. and Mrs. Shuey being
of that number. Like his father, he was also a military man, and
was captain of a company of the State Militia. This military feel-
ing and disposition was also inherited by his children and grand-
children, as will be noticed in their history.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 97

1. Ephraim B. Shuey (5) was born Jan. 1, 1839; baptized
Jan. 24, 1839, sponsors, Joseph Long and wife. His younger
years were spent on the farm, but he afterwards learned the
blacksmithing and horseshoeing trade. He also taught school.
At his becoming of age, the old homestead farm was divided, and
he took that part containing the buildings, at the appraisement
price. He thus became possessor of the old homestead. At the
first township election, after he was twenty-one years old, with-
out being a candidate, he was elected Justice of the Peace, to
which office he was re-elected as long as he lived. At an election
held during his service in the army, another man was elected to
take his place in this office; but when application was made to
Governor Curtin for a commission, he replied, "there is no va-
cancy on account of his being in the army." He carried on the
farm, worked some at his trade, and attended to the duties of
his office, all at the same time. He was a member of a militia
company in Jonestown, prior to the war. During the Civil War,
when more troops were required and a draft was made, his name
was drawn on Nov. 25, 1863. Although three of his brothers
were then serving in the army, he preferred not to avail himself
of the privilege of paying $300, which could then be done, to be
excused from service, he concluded to serve his country in person,
and was mustered into the United States service in December of
said year, and became a member of Company H, 104th Regiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers. He was shot through the shoulder at
the battle of Cedar Creek, Va., on the 19th of October, 1864.
This was on the morning of Sheridan's memorable ride of twenty
miles from Winchester, Va. After the war had closed he was
mustered out with the regiment on August 25, 1865. He married
Sarah A. Hinterleiter, of Kutztown, Berks county, Pa., on the
18th day of October, 1866. He was a member of the Reformed
Church and served as deacon and elder in Walmer's Church, and
had been sent as delegate from Lebanon classis to two synods and
the General Synod which met in Ft. Wayne, Ind., in 1875. He
was secretary and for several years superintendent of Walmer's
Sunday school. They had no children. Susan Hinterleiter, a
niece of Mrs. Shuey, came to live with them and remained with
them a number of years. She was married to Dr. Daniel P.
Gerberich, who was prominent as a physician and politician, and
was a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate and its presiding
officer one term, residing in Lebanon, Pa. Ephraim was a useful
man and wrote nearly all of the deeds and mortgages and other
legal papers for the people of his community. He died Dec. 19,

1889, at the age of 50 years, 11 months and 12 days. Buried in
the cemetery at Walmer's Church.

2. Edward Shuey (5) was born Jan. 22, 1841, and baptized
Feb. 21, 1841. Christian Shuey and wife were the sponsors. His
younger days were spent on the farm. He then learned the wheel-
wright and wagon-maker's trade, which he followed to a certain
extent, in connection with his farming. When the war broke oAt
he tendered his services, and enlisted on the 23d of September,
1861, and became a member of Company F, 97th Regiment, Penn-
sylvania Volunteers. He went with the second expedition south,
and for more than two years they were stationed on the islands
near Charleston, S. C. He served full three years, and was mus-
tered out of service, Oct. 3, 1864, having escaped all harm and
injury, though several bullets came very near, one shattering his
musket in his hand, and another touched his cap on his head. He
took part of the land of the old homestead, and put up new build-
ings near Walmer's Church. He married Fianna De Long, of
Bowers, Berks county, Pa., and had three children, viz : Annie,
Ida, and Andora. His wife having died he married Mrs. Rosanna
Miller, nee Boyer, and the following children were born to them :
Bertha May, Ephraim Garfield, Calvin Harrison, John Amos,
Carrie Maria and Irwin Blain. He always took a very active
part in politics as a Republican. On Nov. 6, 1869, he was elected
assessor and tax collector in Union township, which office he held
four years and was later elected school director, in which capacity
he served twelve years. In 1883 he was elected trustee and treas-
urer of Salem Cemetery association, continued in office to the
time of his death. In 1895 he took part in organizing the agricul-
tural society of Lebanon county and was one of the vice-presidents
for fifteen years. In 1904 he was appointed by the Deputy Sec-
retary of Agriculture of Pennsylvania, chairman of county insti-
tutes of Lebanon county, which position he held to the time of his
death. On January 15, 1916, he was elected a member of the
State Board of Agriculture for three years. In 1905, he was
elected to the office of Register of Wills for Lebanon County,
for three years. In 1909 he was elected Road Supervisor for
three years. Politics often causes a man to forget his religious
duties, but not so with him. In 1865, he was elected Librarian
of Walmer's Sunday school, which office he held until 1890,
when he was elected secretary and was an efficient officer in the
same Sunday school for fifty-four years in succession. When

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 99

Lebanon county was divided into ten districts for Sunday-
school convention purposes, he assisted in organizing the first dis-
trict, consisting of Union and East Hanover townships and
Jonestown borough, and was elected chairman and re-elected
every year up to date. He served as deacon and for many years
as elder in the Reformed Church, and represented his church
many times in classis and the Eastern Synod, and was a delegate
to the General Synod of the Reformed Church in its triannual
session in Lancaster, Pa., in 1914. He was also a delegate to the
Men's Missionary Congress of the Reformed Church in the
United States, held in Allentown, Pa., Nov. 16-18, 1915. During
all these years he also carried on farming until April, 1915, when
he rented the farm. He was also a member of the G. A. R., ana
whenever possible attended his regimental reunions. Residing near
Walmer's Church, his hospitable home was open to many visitors
during the year. He was president of all the Shuey reunions
held near Walmer's Church. He died May 18, 1919, and his
body was laid to rest in the Salem Cemetery at Walmer's Church.
This cemetery is a part of his farm and after several additions
had been purchased from him, nearly reaches to the barn. His
funeral was largely attended, representatives of the various asso-
ciations to which he belonged being present. Most of these and
many of the relatives came from a distance. More than 240 per-
sons took dinner with his family after the funeral.

3. Anson B. Shuey (5) was born November 12, 1842, and
baptized January 22, 1843. His younger years were spent on the
farm, but he always had a great desire to study, and for a while
attended the Academy in Annville, Pa., thus preparing himself
for teaching, which he followed for several years. He joined
a militia company in Jonestown, and when the civil war broke
out and the first call for troops was made by President Lincoln,
he enlisted for three months, and became a member of Company
I, 15th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. From this regiment
(15th Pennsylvania Volunteers), and partly from Company I,
were the first prisoners taken by the confederates in the Civil War,
which occurred on July 2, 1861, by Colonel Ashby, and this cap-
ture was heralded through the South as a brilliant affair. The
prisoners were kept in Richmond for a short time and then taken
to the penitentiary in New Orleans. They were exchanged at
Salisbury in April 1862, after six of their number died. Anson
escaped this capture by a diligent run, he having been one of the
advance pickets. He was mustered into service on April 20, 1861,
and discharged therefrom on August 7, 1861. Feeling that his
services were needed by the Government, he enlisted again on
February 17, 1862, and became a member of Company C, 93d
Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. This enlistment was for
three years. He was a private until October 12, 1862, when he
was made a corporal. This regiment saw severe service and
fought in the battle of Gettysburg, in the 6th corps. At the battle
of Winchester, on September 19, 1864, he lost a leg from a can-
non shot, and was placed in the Winchester hospital. Here he

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 103

was not properly attended to and probably through the careless-
ness of some one his wound commenced to bleed one night, and
he died from loss of blood on September 27. He was rolled in
his blanket, and buried about a foot under ground. His com-
rades, hearing of this act of the hospital men, went next day, took
him out again, placed him in a strong wooden box and buried
him decently on Lot No. 18, in the Soldiers' National Cemetery
at Winchester, and placed a headboard at his grave. The follow-
ing winter his body was brought home by his brother-in-law and
buried in Salem's cemetery at Walmer's Church. Thus it will be
noticed that he lost his life in defense of his country at the age
of 21 years, 10 months and 15 days. He was married to Sarah
A. Copenhaver, and had two children. They lived near Union
Forge prior to his entering the army. His widow later lived
in Lebanon, Pa., and subsequently near Jonestown. He was a

and returned in three months, via Niagara Falls. She was mar-

Gerhart, who died in 1917 at the age of 100 years and 2 months
Two children were born to them, viz : — John S. and Maria C.
They lived at Dotter's Mill a number of years and later on a
farm a mile south of the mill. After her husband's death she
went to live with her daughter in Annville. She has always taken
a great interest in church and Sunday-school work. She be-
longs to two missionary societies and W. C. T. U. Since her
daughter and her son-in-law died she has been the housekeeper
for this family. She is a brave woman and in 1913, with lantern
in hand went out alone one evening, having heard noise among
the chickens and was the means in catching a chicken thief, who
was convicted and sent to the penitentiary, on her testimony.

5. Dennis Bashore Shuey (5) was born Feb. 14, 1846, and
baptized March 22, 1846. His younger years were spent on the
farm during the summer, and during the winter he attended school
in the old schoolhouse at Walmer's Church, when not obliged to
stay at home to assist in threshing the grain, which was then done
by means of horses treading out the grain. This slow and weari-
some riding of horses often fell to his lot when he should have
been at school. He, however, kept himself up with his classes.
During the summer of 1859 he was employed in a brickyard as off-
bearer, on their own farm, where 173,000 brick were made, part of
which were used in building the new barn the following year on
Edward Shuey's farm. During the summer of 1861 he worked
for his uncle, John H. Shuey, in his woolen mill, one of the old
kind. On May 4, 1861, he became a communicant member of the
Reformed Church. During the summer of 1862 he was hired
out on a neighboring farm, receiving $6.50 per month wages, but
was expected to do a full grown man's work, such as plowing,
cutting grass with the scythe and grain with the cradle. In Sep-
tember, he went to Harrisburg, with many of the young men of
Lebanon county, and enrolled as a volunteer in the 127th Penn-
sylvania Regiment in the United States army. After being in
Camp Curtin one week he was sent home as being too young for
service in the army. Many of the school teachers of Lebanon
county having enlisted in this regiment, he was employed as a
teacher for that winter, at a salary of $20 per month, though but
sixteen years of age. Prof. Henry Houck, who for thirty-five
years was Deputy State Superintendent of Schools of Pennsyl-
vania, was then the superintendent of the schools of Lebanon
county. When school closed in the spring of 1863, he attended a
course of normal studies in the Academy at Annville, Prof. W. J.
Burnside, principal.

After school closed for the summer, the call for troops issued
by President Lincoln, when General Lee's army invaded Pennsyl-
vania, again appealed to him, and he enlisted in Company A, 26th

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 107

Regiment, P. V. I., on June 23, 1863, and on the following day
they were transferred to Gettysburg, but the train being derailed
by running over a cow, when but six miles from its destination,
was delayed two nights and a day, did not reach Gettysburg until
Friday morning, June 26. This regiment was under command of
Col. W. W. Jennings, who had just returned from nine months'
service as colonel of the 127th regiment. He was an officer who
was both brave and tactful. This 26th Regiment was the first to
arrive at Gettysburg. It was not then known that any Confeder-
ate soldiers were anywhere near to that place, but this regiment
was to be used as a guard in one of the mountain passes near
Gettysburg. Company A of this regiment was largely composed
of students from the Lutheran College and Theological Seminary
at Gettysburg. It was therefore a pleasure for them to come to
Gettysburg, but their joy was of short duration. In one hour
after their arrival, the colonel was ordered by Major Haller of
the U. S. Regular Army, to march his men out on the Chambers-
burg pike, with Company A, as customary, in the front. Although
fifty-six years have since elapsed, he distinctly remembers seeing
three men on horseback approaching the regiment, but as soon
as they saw them they wheeled around and galloped off. These
men were, no doubt, Confederate officers. The 26th Regiment
was marched to the right into a field near the woods and tents
were soon put up, but as it was very wet ground after raining
several days, he, with others, found a pile of newly-made shingles
in the woods, which were appropriated for floors in the tents, and
just then the order was given hastily, "Strike tents and march."
One of his tent mates was detailed and had gone out on picket
duty. He was likely captured as he never saw him afterwards.
The march was in a northeasterly direction across the fields,
through mud, until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when
many from fatigue could no longer march and straggled, and
some climbed cherry trees to eat cherries, when the order was
quickly given to form in line of battle, in the field to the right of
the road. All was confusion and many men lost their places in
their own company. He found himself in Company E, which was
from Lebanon, White's cavalry, a part of General Gordon's
division, came in sight in their rear. They turned and opened
fire upon the Confederates, to which they quickly responded with
their carbine firing. The U. S. line was behind a fence, lying
down to escape the Confederate bullets. Two bullets struck the
rail in front of his face. All the stragglers and cherry eaters
were captured, and White's cavalry, after some loss, retreated

108 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

with more than one hundred men as prisoners, who were paroled
the next day.

The march was resumed and after going a mile, he found
Company A, and discovered roll call had been made to ascertain
the number lost and he had been marked missing. He was glad
to take his place in the ranks again. The following day, Saturday,
this regiment was again drawn up in line for battle in Dillsburg,
with Company A in the front, each man resting on one knee with
bayonet set to meet the approach of cavalry, and each company
to the rear was to successively fire over the heads of those in
front to keep the enemy back. But it was a false alarm. The
regiment reached Harrisburg on Sunday afternoon, having
marched fifty-four hours out of sixty successive hours, without
food and shelter, and appeared as if they might have been in hard
service six months or a year, although they had but left Harris-
burg the Wednesday before in their new uniforms. The nearest
approach the Confederate army ever made to Harrisburg, some
six miles out, was in their attempt to capture this whole regiment,
and this they could easily have done had it not been for the tact-
ful manoeuvering of Colonel Jennings. Later history informs us
that Lee's whole army was delayed one day because Lee could
not find out where this branch of his troops were, who were in
search of this regiment. This one day's delay gave General
Meade, with the army of the Potomac, a great opportunity to ad-
vance northward, to thwart the plans of Lee to sieze the northern
cities and obtain supplies for his army. The 26th Regiment, there-
fore, was the cause of these two vast armies meeting at Gettys-
burg, and the greatest battle during the whole war was the re-
sult, which was the beginning of the end of the war.

On account of this strenuous march and exposure, he was not
able to stand on his feet, the morning after reaching Harrisburg,
and the surgeon sent him to the hospital, on account of articular
rheumatism, which he had contracted and from which he has
suffered ever since. On July 10 he left the hospital and joined
the regiment again for further service, though not well. After
further hard service in the Cumberland valley, endeavoring to
prevent the Confederate army from the crossing the Potomac
back into Virginia, this regiment, by order of the War Depart-
ment, was honorably discharged, July 30, 1863.

On the main street toward the west end of Gettysburg, in a
triangular plot, with a stone on each corner engraved U. S. be-
tween the Springs Avenue and the Chambersburg Pike, directly
in front of the Meade School House, there has been erected a

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 109

statue of a young soldier in the act of charging with bayonet fixed,
as a memorial of the services rendered by this 26th regiment. The
legislature of Pennsylvania made an appropriation for this pur-
pose. On the north side on the base of this monument is a copper
plate with this inscription : "26th Pennsylvania Emergency In-
fantry Regiment organized at Harrisburg and volunteered
for the Emergency. Mustered into U. S. service June
22, 1863. Company A recruited from Pennsylvania
College and Gettysburg. Total Enrollment 743. Captured
and missing in Gettysburg campaign 176 officers and
men. The First Union Regiment to engage the Con-
federates at Gettysburg and delaying their advance one day."
On the south side is a similar tablet with this inscription :
"Reached Gettysburg June 25 in advance of the Army of the
Potomac' On the morning of June 26 marched out the Cham-
bersburg Pike and met the Rebel column at Marsh Creek and
forced by overwhelming numbers to withdraw. In the afternoon
on the Hunterstown road had a severe engagement with the
Rebel Cavalry, inflicting upon them some loss. Reached Harris-
burg, June 28, having marched 60 consecutive hours and skir-
mished with the enemy. July 12 advanced from Harrisburg after
the Rebels in retreat."

On the large monument erected by the State of Pennsylvania,
on the Gettysburg battlefield are copper plate, giving the names
of officers and men in each Pennsylvania Regiment engaged in
this battle. Two of these plates contain the names of officers and
men of this 26th Regiment. The short service of this Regiment
seems to have been of sufficient importance to Pennsylvania to
have received this recognition in permanent form. In Company A
of this regiment, besides the author was Theodore F. Shuey of
Virginia. Here they first became acquainted and later learned
of their relationship to each other and formed the link by which
the author found the facts for the Virginia branch of the Shuey
family for this history. In Company E of this regiment was
Allen P. Shuey, a brother of the author, and William Shuey
Bordelmay, a second cousin. In Company F, which marched
next to Company A, was Samuel W. Pennypacker, who after-
wards was governor of Pennsylvania, and with whom the author
sustained a close friendship ever since their service in this regi-
ment, until the governor's death.

During 1864 and 1865 he farmed the old homestead, while his
brother Ephraim served in the army, but continued teaching dur-

110 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

ing the winter months. In 1864 he was assistant superintendent
of the Sunday school, and the following year its superintendent.
In the spring of 1866 he and his sister Eliza made a trip to Ohio,
visiting his relatives for a short time, and spent several months
in school in Lockland, with his home in the J. H. Tangeman fam-
ily. After their return he became salesman and assistant post-
master at East Hanover, in Heilman and Brothers' store. Late
in the fall he accepted the Uhrich's school, which he taught until
spring. He then went to Mercersburg and entered the prepara-
tory department of Mercersburg College under the presidency
of Rev. Thomas G. Apple, D.D., occupying room 15 in the sem-
inary building, and was a member of the Marshall Literary So-
ciety. The following two years of study, under the able instruc-
tion of Profs. Apple, Kieffer and others, will always be remem-
bered as a very pleasant part of his life, and an incentive for use-
fulness and service for others. In the beginning of January, 1869,
he was appointed a teacher in Bethany Orphans' Home at Wom-
elsdorf, Pa., continuing one year, and was the first deacon in the
congregation, organized in the Home, May 9, 1869. Some of the
boys who were under his instruction in the Home afterwards be-
came prominent men in life, such as Rev. Thomas S. Land, D.D.,
Hon. George W. Wagner, Judge of the Courts in Berks County,
Pa., and others. He entered the Freshman Class in Franklin and
Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa., in January, 1870, and became
a member of the Goethean Literary Society.

In the summer of 1872 he made an extensive trip to Kansas,
Minnesota, and other places. He graduated with his class, June
26, 1873. The subject of his graduation oration was, "Corre-
spondence of Light with Truth." During the following summer
he read medical works, but in the fall entered the Theological
Seminary in Lancaster, preparing for the holy ministry. During
these three years, for want of means, he occupied a lonely attic
room by himself on West King Street.

It was in this room, while a student in the seminary, he used
his spare time in gathering the facts and wrote "The History of
the Shuey Family in America," from 1732 to 1876, containing
279 pages, which left the press in the summer of 1876. During
these three years he also used some time in reading Blackstone,
under the instruction of the Hon. John P. Rea, afterwards
Judge of the Courts in Minneapolis, Minn. He graduated from
the Seminary in May, 1876. Graduating Theme, "The Hugue-
nots." He was licensed to preach the gospel by Lebanon Classis

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 111

at its annual meeting in Schuylkill Haven, on June 13, 1876. He
accepted a call to the pastorate of the New Providence charge, in
Lancaster county, and entered upon his labors July 1, 1876. He
was ordained October 8, 1876 by a committee of Lancaster
Cassis, consisting of Rev. W. E. Krebs, Rev. J. S. Stahr and
Rev. W. T. Gerhard. He did faithful work in this charge during
the next six years and a half, doubling the number of members
and greatly improving the properties, especially the parsonage and
the Quarryville Church. He had as one of his co-workers and
advisors, Elder George W. Hensel, who was a prominent mem-
ber of various Boards of College and Seminary at Lancaster.
During his pastorate here he received into the church Galen J. P.
Raub, who has become a prominent elder and has largely taken the
place of his father-in-law, Elder Hensel. He received the degree
of Master of Arts in 1876 from Franklin and Marshall College.
On April 7, 1880, he married M. Viola Bushong, of Bird-in-
Hand, Lancaster county, Pa., a faithful worker and organist in
the Hellers Reformed Church. They moved to Emporia, Kan.,
in May, 1883, in response to a call from the Board of Home Mis-
sions of the Reformed Church, as superintendent of the mission-
ary work in the West. He continued in this work fourteen years,
when he was broken down in health. He assisted in organizing
Wichita and Lincoln classes and the Synod of the Interior, which
was organized, September 29, 1887, at Kansas City, Mo. He
completed the organization of the missions in Cheney, Wichita
and Holton, and organized missions in Kansas at Abilene, En-
terprise and Scotia in Dickenson county ; Iola, LaHarpe and Allen
Center in Allen county; Circleville in Jackson county; Baker
in Brown county; Topeka in Shawnee county; Hazelton in Bar-
ber county; Whitewater in Butler county, where he preached in
the open air as soon as the stakes for the town were driven ; Otis
in Rush county; Ransom in Ness county and did the preliminary
work for the missions in Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo., and
Grace Mission in Chicago, 111. He also collected the necessary
funds, made the plans and wrote the specifications and supervised
the erection of the churches at Circleville and Whitewater in
Kansas and the Zion church in Nebraska, and the parsonages in
Emporia and Otis. He traveled as much as twenty-five thousand
miles per year in this work, preaching often every evening during
the week and three times on Sunday, spending the week days in
visiting people, to interest them in spiritual work. He was also
the Stated Clerk of Wichita Classis from its organization in 1887
to 1905, and part of the time its treasurer. He was president of

112 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

the Synod of the Interior in 1889 and its Stated Clerk from 1893
to 1905, and its treasurer from 1897 to 1905, and member and
officer of nearly all its various boards. Through his energetic
work and zeal, along with others, Wichita University was estab-
lished, as an institution of the synod, and was the president of its
board of trustees from its organization until its close.

Surrendering the work as superintendent of missions, Octo-
ber 1, 1896, he accepted the appointment as business manager of
"The Reformed Church Tidings," a missionary paper, authorized
by the Home and Foreign Mission Boards and the Sunday-school
Board, jointly, of the Reformed Church, with office at Reading,
Pa. He organized a convenient method for transacting the busi-
ness, and in one year's time had twenty-five thousand paid-up sub-
scribers. During this year, the Sundays were always devoted, by
direction of the Home Mission Board, to giving missionary ad-
dresses in the various churches in the East. His family had re-
mained in Kansas during this year. Returning to Kansas, he
accepted the pastorate at Iola, where he labored four years, and
the next three years were given to Sunday-school work. He was
a member of the executive committee of the Kansas State Sun-
day-school Association for a period of fifteen years, and one year
held the position of president of the association, 1903-1904, and
was one of its delegates to the World's Fourth Sunday-school
Convention, held in Jerusalem in April, 1904. This cruise was
made in the S. S. Grosser Kurfurst with 817 delegates, this ves-
sel having been chartered for this purpose. This trip included
visits on the Island of Maderia, Gibraltar, Algiers, Malta, Athens,
Constantinople, Roberts College, Black Sea, Smyrna, Ephesus,
Beirut and the American Protestant College, Caifa or Haifa, Mt.
Carmel, Nazareth, Cana, Tiberias and crossed the Sea of Galilee,
Capernaum, Bethsaida, Joppa, Jerusalem, Convention April 18-20,

Gilgal, Hebron, Solomon's Pools, Solomon's Quarries under the
city of Jerusalem, Alexandria, Cairo, Pyramids, Sphinx, Mem-
phis, Heliopolis, Naples, Pompeii, and the many interesting places
in Rome, then to Villefranc and Nice. During this entire trip he
was a member of the large choir of this delegation and took part
in all the services, lectures and entertainments of this cruise and
the convention in Jerusalem.

At Villefranc he left the delegation and the good ship Grosser
Kurfurst and made an independent trip by himself through Italy,
Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Holland. On this trip he
visited Genoa, Milan, Como, Chiasso, Lugano, Bellenzona, Biasco,

Friedrichsfeld, Mannheim, Weinheim, Bonsheim, Darmstadt,
Frankfort, Sacksenhausen, Wiesbaden, Mayence, Bingen, by
steamer on the Rhine to Coblenz, then to Bonn, Cologne, Dussel-
dorf, Utrecht and Amsterdam, where he took sick and had to give
up his trip through France, England and Scotland, as he had
planned, and thus had to forego the pleasure of attending the
Eighth General Council of the Alliance of the Reformed Churches
holding the Presbyterian System, which was held in Liverpool,
England, for which he carried his credentials, for June 21, 1904.
This was a great disappointment. At Bremen he took passage in
S. S. Kaiser Wilhelm II., and reached home after an absence of
three months and twenty days.

Resigning all official positions in Kansas, October 1, 1905, he
entered upon the pastorate at Mulberry, Ind. This was followed
by pastorates at Sugar Grove, Apple Creek, Upper Sandusky and
Gabon, Ohio. He joined the Grand Army of the Republic, Jan-
uary 27, 1874, and has always taken great interest in its work.
He has been chaplain of the G. A. R. posts in Emporia, Iola, Up-
per Sandusky and Gabon, and commander of the posts at Iola
and Sugar Grove. He has attended many of the Department and
National Encampments as delegate, and was elected Chaplain-in-
Chief by the National Encampment held in Washington, D. C,
in 1902, and as such he officiated at the Encampment in San Fran-
cisco in 1903 and submitted his report of the year's work in that
position.

He attended the tri-annual sessions of the General Synod of
the Reformed Church, mostly as an official delegate, at the fol-
lowing places: 1878, Lancaster, Pa.; 1887, Akron, Ohio; 1890,
Lebanon, Pa.; 1891, special, Philadelphia, Pa.; 1893, Reading,
Pa.; 1896, Dayton, Ohio; 1899, Tiffin, Ohio; 1905, Allentown,
Pa.; 1908, York, Pa.; 1911, Canton, Ohio; 1917, Dayton, Ohio.
Likewise as official delegate he attended these conventions of the
International Sunday-school Association : 1887, Chicago, 111. ;
1890, Pittsburgh, Pa. ; 1893, St. Louis, Mo. ; 1905, Toronto, Can-
ada; 1908, Louisville, Ky. ; 1914, Chicago, 111. Also World's
conventions, 1893, St. Louis, Mo.; 1904, Jerusalem, Palestine;
1908, Washington, D. C

114 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

In the "Outlook of Missions" for March, 1917, Rev. Charles
E. Schaeffer, D.D., General Secretary of the Board of Home
Missions of the Reformed Church, published a sketch of the mis-
sionary work of Rev. Shuey, which is here inserted.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES OF EARLY HOME
MISSIONARIES.

XII. REV. D. B. SHUEY, D.D.

The Reverend D. B. Shuey, D.D., who for many years labored
as Missionary Superintendent in the Synod of the Interior, de-
serves a place in this list of Missionary biographies. In July,
1882, the Tri-Synodic Board of Missions, comprising the Eastern,
the Potomac, and the Pittsburgh Synods, elected Mr. Shuey to
take charge of the Mission work in the West, meaning the terri-
tory now covered by the Synod of the Interior. At the same time
he was supposed to give one-half of his time to the Mission at
Emporia, Kansas. He entered upon this work November 1, 1882,
and for the first six months he applied himself to visiting congre-
gations in the East with the view of raising money for this west-
ern work. He was successful in securing the amount of $3,000,
with which the mortgage on the Emporia church, runing at 12
per cent, interest was paid off, and a lot purchased and a suitable
parsonage erected. The salary of the Missionary and Superin-
tendent at that time was $500 a year and this money came in very
irregularly because the Board did not always have it on hand
to pay. The Mission itself was to pay him $100 per year, but
even this sometimes failed to come.

In July, 1885, he resigned the pastorate of the Emporia Mis-
sion and gave his entire time to the work of superintending the
missions in this western territory. He was instrumental in organ-
izing the following congregations : Abilene, Iola, Whitewater,
Topeka, Circleville, all in Kansas. He would visit Reformed fam-
ilies in these places, preach the gospel to them, baptize their chil-
dren, and regularly supply them until missionaries could be se-
cured. For a time he also supplied the church at Wichita.

He was instrumental in organizing the Synod of the Interior.
He prepared the necessary papers, fixed the geographical lines
and pressed the matter before General Synod so that finally at
Kansas City in 1887, the Synod of the Interior was constituted
and he became the Missionary Superintendent of this Synod until
Oct. 1, 1896, when, on account of ill health, he was obliged to re-
linquish his duties.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 115

He built the churches at Whitewater, Circleville, Zion's, Ne-
braska, superintended their erection and purchased their furni-
ture. He held successively all the positions of honor and trust
in the bounds of the Synod. He was not only the Superintenl-
ent of Missions, but also the President of the Synod, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Beneficiary Education, President of the
Board of Trustees of Wichita University, Treasurer of the Board
of Missions of the Synod, President of the Board of Trustees of
the Synod, Secretary of the Board of Publication, Stated Clerk
of the Synod, and also the Treasurer of the Synod. He removed
from the bounds of the Synod in October, 1905, and is still serv-
ing the Church as pastor of the Pease-Emanuel charge, Galion,
Ohio, in the Central Synod. He laid foundations upon which
others have built and his work is being carried forward by those
who have succeeded him in these responsible positions.

Mrs. Shuey was also a descendant of the French Hugue-
nots, as her maiden name Bushong indicates, which it is claimed
originally was Beauchamp. Her ancestors on her father's side
also came to America, about the time Daniel Shuey arrived, and
they were likewise of the Reformed Church faith. Her mother,
Fannie Landis, was one of that large and prominent Landis
family, so well known in Lancaster county, Pa. Mrs. Shuey
was of that genuinely devoted spirit, by which she always readily
entered into the laborious and self-sacrificing missionary and
pastoral work of her husband. She was the devoted mother who
largely raised their children while the husband's duties in the
mission field, demanded his absence from home a large part of
the time.

To them were born eight children : Paul F., Ralph C, B.
Marie, A. Carl, V. Frances, Esther A., Helen A., and Clara A.

1. Paul Francis Shuey (6) was born July 14, 1881, at New
Providence, Pa. Baptized Aug. 27, 1881, by Rev. E. V. Ger-
hart, D.D., President of the Theological Seminary, Lancaster,
Pa. Went with his parents to Kansas in 1883. Began his studies
in the Kindergarten Department of the Kansas State Normal
School, and studied through the grades in the schools of Emporia
and the high school in Iola. He largely supported himself by doing
different kinds of work, while he was taking a four year's course
in the University of Kansas, at Lawrence, from which he grad-
uated in 1907, and received the Degree of Bachelor of Science
in Electrical Engineering. In the succeeding two years he was
assistant professor of Physics in Purdue University, Lafayette,

glass manufacturing business. A company was organized, and a
factory was built that summer at LeGrange (now Brilliant),
Ohio. That fall the factory was placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver.

At this juncture, he went to Wheeling, W. Va., where he
secured employment upon the Sunday Leader, and where he
made the acquaintance of Dana Hubbard, an editor. He re-
mained in Wheeling until the winter of 1882-83, at which time
he went to Erie, Pa., where he accepted a position on the Erie

and in July, 1886, to Wheeling, where he became connected with
the Wheeling Register, and where he was later one of the found-
ers, with H. C. Ogden and others, of the Wheeling News.

In November, 1893, he moved to Huntington, W. Va., where
he has since resided. In Huntington he purchased the Daily

grown from a small, four-page paper to the proportions of a
metropolitan newspaper, of ten to sixteen pages daily, carrying
the full leased wire dispatches of The Associated Press, of
which he is a member, and other modern newspaper features.

his desire for knowledge must be gratified, and he therefore en-
tered a high school and prepared for college, and was admitted
into Parmer's College at College Hill, Hamilton county, Ohio.

cal College of Ohio, located in Cincinnati, from which institu-

to her final rest. She took a partial course of studies in the

Bethel township, for which he was to pay 800 pounds, 200
pounds of which he might keep as his share of inheritance.
After he had paid for this farm, his mother and the executors
of his father's will conveyed a deed to him for this tract cf land.
This deed is recorded in the office at Harrisburg, Book B,
volume 1, page 319, and was granted in the year 1786, one year
after Dauphin county was formed from the northern part of
Lancaster county.

"Henry Shuey, of Hanover township and Barbara his wife,
John Shuey, of Bethel township and Christiana his wile, and
Ludwich Shuey, of Bethel township aforesaid yeoman (tie said
Henry, John and Ludwich being of the sons of Ludwich 3huey,
late of Bethel township aforesaid, yeoman, (deceased) of the one
part and Martin Shuey, of Bethel township aforesaid (another of
the sons of the said deceased) of the other part. This is described
as the same tract deeded by Daniel Shuey and wife, Mary Martha,
to Ludwich Shuey, father of the parties hereto. It also refers
to the will of Ludwich Shuey who bequeathed the said two tracts

146 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

of land to his son, Martin Shuey. See Vol. R., page 381, in the
office in Lancaster."

At the same time, Henry Shuey et. al. conveyed by deed to him
another tract of land. This is recorded as above, on page 320.
For this tract he paid 271 pounds and 5 shillings. Also Adam
Paul and wife conveyed by deed to him a tract of land, which
bears the same date and is recorded as above. In 1788, he sold
one of the above-named tracts to Daniel Peffley and others. In
1803 he sold the one tract above-named to John Brechtbill for
489 pounds, 1 shilling, and 9^4 pence. In 1805 he sold another
farm, containing I29y2 acres, to Henry Spitler for 1,426 pounds,
and moved to the Twin Valley, and settled near Germantown,
Ohio.

Martin Shuey, of Bethel township, Dauphin county, Pa., be-
fore moving to Ohio, gave a power of attorney (see vol. 21, page
154) wherein he "appoints and deputes my trusty and beloved
Brother Christian Shuey, of Bethel township, Dauphin county,
Pa., to sell the tract of land lying and being over the blue mountain
in Norwitshen township, Berks county, Pa., containing 125 acres."
This is dated April 27, 1805, and was acknowledged before Gott-
fried Rehrer, Justice of the Peace on the same day and was re-
corded May 9, 1805.

Martin Shuey had an interest as part owner of other lands in
what is now Schuylkill county, Pa. In the office in Pottsville in
Book 2, page 344, with date April 26, 1817. John Shuey, of
Bethel township, Lebanon county, attorney in fact of his father
Martin Shuey, of the State of Ohio, sold a farm to Christian Grim
of Lower Mahantongo township. This is the same tract which
Philip Kunselman deeded, bearing date May 22, 1790, to Ludwig
Shuey, Martin Shuey and Christian Shuey, in Pinegrove town-
ship, Barks county, now lower Mahantonga township. Ludwig
Shuey deeded his one-third share to Martin Shuey (by his attor-
ney party hereunto), "And whereas, the said Martin Shuey, by a
certain letter of attorney, bearing date at Lebanon, in the county
of Warren and State of Ohio, the 13th day of April, 1816, for
divers good cause therein mentioned, did nominate, constitute,
appoinl and authorize his son, the said John Shuey, to sell his
right, etc., in said 100 acres." Now the said John Shuey, attor-
ney in fact, sells to Christian Grimm for $866.67. This was
granted to Martin Shuey, June 3, 1790. Patent issued Dec. 17,
1790. See Patent Book H., Vol. 13, page 98.

Hi: children were all born in Bethel township. At this time
Ohio vas a new country, and thickly covered with timber. There

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 147

were a great many emigrations made to Ohio about this time.
Martin Shuey was a persevering man, and labored hard to make
himself and his family comfortable. In his old age he had the
pleasure of seeing himself surrounded with a noble and respect-
able family, which he had reared. He was a faithful member
of the Reformed Church, and held the office of Trustee at
Klopp's Church in 1798 and 1799, and in 1789 he was Treasurer
of that church. He died in February, 1829, aged 79 years.
His wife died January 5, 1838, at the age of 78 years, 6 months,
and 3 days. She was a member of the Lutheran Church. She
was a good woman, of a kind disposition, and was the mother of
a noble family. Both are buried in the New Castle cemetery
now within the corporate limits of Dayton, Ohio.

Martin Shuey was one of the prominent men of his time,
in church as well as in civil affairs. He was highly respected by
many, who sought his counsel and advice. He led a useful life,
both to himself and to his family. He was a devout Christian,
and set a noble example to his fellow-men. He was one of the
executors of the last will and testament of his father, Ludwich
Shuey. His career was a noble one, and worthy of imitation.

/. JOHN SHUEY (3)

Was born February 6, 1776. He was brought up in
Bethel township, where he lived till the time of his
death. He married Christiana Elizabeth Breitenbach, aid had
no children. He owned a farm containing 219 acres. He willed
this farm to his wife for her use during life, and after her death
it was to be divided between Eve Borkert and David Rittle.
This Eve Borkert was an adopted child, and was to be maintained
and educated from the proceeds of the farm while Mrs Shuey
was living. He also willed a house and lot, situated in Myerstown,
to Elizabeth Kopenhaeffer. Samuel Goshert and John Brown
were named as his executors. His will bears date November
24, 1849, and is recorded in Lebanon, Book D, page 231 John
was a member of the Reformed Church, and held the olfice of
Treasurer of Klopp's Church in 1817. He died Aug. 26, 1851,
at the age of 75 years, 6 months and 20 days. His wife wis born
February 15, 1781, and died April 27, 1859, at the age of 78
years, 2 months and 12 days. They both lie buried in the grave-
yard at Klopp's Church. John was rather tall, and was usually
known by the name of Big John Shuey.

IV. GENERAL MARTIN SHUEY (3)

Was born Sept. 28, 1785, in Dauphin, now Lebanon county, Pa.
He went to Montgomery county, Ohio, in 1804. He married Mar-
garet Shuperd, June 30, 1808. They were blessed with eleven
children, viz : John, Henry, Olivia, Samuel D., Jacob, Robert M.,
Melvina A., and three sons and a daughter who died in infancy.
Martin had a disposition for venturing out into the world, moving
west by degrees, until he finally settled in California. He was a
bold, persevering, and energetic man, and allowed no trifling things
to come in to thwart his plans, which were never rash, but were
fully considered in all their aspects so as to reach the desired
end. In the war of 1812, he tendered his services to the gov-
ernment to assist in defending our country and her laws. He
entered the army as Captain, which position he held with dis-
tinction and for his services was promoted to Colonel, and then
rose to the position of General before the close of the war.
He received a pension for services rendered in that war.

In 820 he moved to Shelby county, Indiana, where he en-
gaged in farming. In 1829, he moved to Adams county, Illinois,
where ie again took to farming, and continued for thirty years
at this place. In 1850, he again pulled up stakes, and went on
his we:tern-bound course, this time not to stop until the western
coast vas reached. His trip was "across the plains," and he had
to endire many hardships with his venerable wife as a compan-
ion, during this tedious, as well as dangerous journey, having
been sx months on the way. We can easily imagine what the
hardships and deprivations incident to such a journey would be,

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 149

over uninhabited country for hundreds of miles. His strong, per-
severing nature gave him courage, and thus the hardships were
not so keenly felt, though they were very severe. What is es-
pecially noticeable of this journey is, that General Shuey was
seventy-four years of age when he undertook this trip, thus ex-
hibiting great strength both in mind and in body. He lived in
Brooklyn, Alameda county, California. Both General and Mrs.
Shuey enjoyed good health until old age enfeebled them.

As to the personal appearance of General Martin Shuey, he
was represented to have been a fine-looking old gentleman, had
a high, broad forehead, a prominent nose, heavy side-whiskers,
and impressed one as a very venerable personage. His figure
was rather tall and prepossessing, his manner was always kind
and pleasant, and his voice cheerful and strong.

Both General and Mrs. Shuey retained their mental faculties
perfectly to old age. They were earnest, devoted Christians, and
members of the Baptist Church in Brooklyn, of which Martin
was deacon for many years. Martin had been permitted to live
a long life, but it was also a useful life; and standing in the
church militant for so many years, he longed to be admitted into
the church triumphant.

We have been furnished with an account of his life, which
appeared in one of the California papers. Inasmuch as it fur-
nishes some new facts, an extract from it is herewith inserted :

A Patriarchal Pair.

Four Score and Ten and Four Score and Eight — The History of General

Martin Shuey and His Wife Mary — A Remarkable Record.

There reside in this city, or rather its eastern suburb, Fruit Vale, a
remarkable pair; remarkable not only for their venerable ages, but also
their eventful lives and Christian faith and fortitude. We mean Martin
Shuey and his wife Mary. The former, on the 28th instant, reached his
ninetieth birthday; and the latter, should she live so long, will celebrate
her eighty-eighth anniversary on the 22d of February, 1876. Both are
enjoying good health for people so greatly advanced in years, and it is
not improbable they may yet add several laurels of time to those already
registered by them. Of the many souls born into this world it is allotted
to but very few to walk this earth so long, and observe the developments
and changes of three successive generations ! They have by many days
outlived the prescribed "three score years and ten" and been joined in bonds
of wedlock for sixty-seven years.

In this sketch we shall show how they have traveled the rough road
of life together, and maintained an unsevered alliance through all the
vicissitudes of pioneer life — through war and want and many a wild
danger, amid unbroken solitudes and savage men. Their lives show that
their conjugal faith was strong, and their love for each other unbounded.
They crossed the continent together, starting from the cradle of the Re-

150 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

public, halting on the way at different stages, stopping, as it were, to
witness the birth of new States, and faithfully following "the Star of
Empire" in its westerly course, until it finally set on the placid Pacific's
golden shores.

General Martin Shuey was born in Lebanon county, Pennsylvania,
September 28, 1785, and, therefore, completed his ninetieth year on Tues-
day last. He is of French origin. ***** When eighteen years old
his father, attracted like so many others since his day, towards the prom-
ising west, removed to Ohio, then a Territory, taking his family with him.
This was in 1805. Cincinnati, now one of the great cities of the Union,
consisted at that time, according to his statement, of thirty-five log and
frame huts, with only one two-story house. Ohio was then a wilderness,
having but a few scattered settlements here and there. The family chose
a farm five miles from Franklin, for a home.

The commencement of his military career. — Protection against the
raids of the savages became at once a necessity of the new settlers, and
it was determined to form a rifle company. This event took place in the
year 1805, and Mr. Shuey, who was an intelligent as well as an active,
able man, was at once chosen Lieutenant of the new organization. In
1810, he was elected Captain of his company, and was placed in command
of the Eighth Military District of Ohio. In this capacity he served through-
out the war of 1812, when hostilities broke out between the United States
and Great Britain, the principal scenes of military operations having been
the great lakes of North America and their borders. In 1815, after the
war, in which Captain Shuey served with distinction, was over, he was
elected Major of the battalion to which his company belonged, and in
1816 was elected Colonel of his regiment. In 1818 he received further
promotion, and was made a Brigadier-General. The Military District
in which he commanded embraced Forts Brown, Winchester, Laramie,
St Mary's, Amanda and Jennings. Fort Winchester was an outpost, and
there he was stationed for most of the time. In 1826 he resigned his mil-
itary position, having become a married man in the meantime with a
family growing up around him, and removed from Ohio.

In the "New Territory." — In 1820 General Shuey removed with his
wife and family into the present State of Indiana, which was then known
as the "New Territory." The West still wooed him on, and he followed
at her beck. He settled in Shelby county, and there cultivated a farm
for nine years, and attended to the education of his children.

Still westward. — In 1829 he left Indiana and removed to Illinois, then
a territory. He settled in Adams county. The State was but very thinly
settled. The present important city of Quincy, on the Mississippi river,
then consisted of but a few small log cabins and one frame kitchen. The
solitude of the vast rolling prairies was only broken by the war-whoops of
the Indians — the Pottawatamies and Winnebagoes — and the cries of the
chase. For twenty years he tarried in the new State, aiding in the develop-
ment of what has since become one of the foremost centers of population
and wealth in the Union. The Western fever, however, was still upon him;
and California, with her tales of teeming wealth — of her golden ore, her pro-
ductive soil and delightful climate — was destined to be his future home,
and the ultimate resting-place of himself and his numerous descendants.
In 1859 he crossed the plains, scaled the high Sierras, having been seven
months on the way, son John met them at mouth of Carson river and

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 151

brought them through and they settled in Brooklyn with his son, R. M.,
and daughter, Melvina, where they have since remained.

Here the paper contained an extended notice of Mrs. Shuey ;
but, according to our plan this is properly not a part of this
book, and therefore, is not inserted.

Both of them were members of the Baptist Church previous to their
coming to California. As they had believed, so had they brought up and
educated their children. They joined the Oakland Baptist Church the
first Sunday after their arrival in California, in October, 1859; and when,
in 1860, a new church was organized in Brooklyn, General Shuey was
chosen one of its deacons. Their selection of California as a future
home was the cause of a considerable acquisition to the population of our
State. Their progeny alone is very respectable in numbers. They were
the parents of eleven children.

Their present condition. — General Shuey, now in his ninety-first year,
and successively a soldier, merchant and farmer — a resident of five
States, and a pioneer of three of them — is in the full possession of all his
faculties. His sight is good and his memory clear, and he can narrate
events in his eventful life with animation and exactness. He is a great
reader, and devours the contents of books with avidity, and describes
their contents consecutively and clearly. He is not able to walk out,
being rather feeble in his limbs. When he came to California at seventy-
five years of age, he was erect and graceful of figure. The old lady is
not so well off. On account of an accident, she has lost the use of her
limbs, but she still reads and does needle-work. Their three generations of
children are much devoted to them, and when they die they will undoubt-
edly have many mourners. A more remarkable old couple is difficult
to find. We are proud of them.

At one place the account in reference to his ancestors was
not quite correct, and it is, therefore, omitted in this extract.
Writing to General Shuey in reference to this point, after re-
ceiving this notice, and requesting a personal letter from him,
he authorized his granddaughter to state that the account was no
doubt faulty at that particular point, and he wrote the following
letter :

I have not written any for some time. I was ninety years of age last
September. I spend the most of my time reading, and enjoy it very
much. My hand gets tired very quickly.

Yours truly, Martin Shuey.

October 22d, 1875, Fruit Vale, Cal.

Scarcely had the author closed the above sketch of the life of
General Martin Shuey, in 1876, when he received a notice of his
death, which took place February 12, 1876, he having arrived
at the ripe old age of 90 years, 4 months and 12 days. His
granddaughter, in announcing his death, says : "My dear grand-
father quietly passed away last Saturday. Our house is again
a house of mourning. Dear grandfather was great in goodness.
Few have lived such a long life, and done so much good. Even

152 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

a few months before he died, he appeared as vigorous as in his
younger days. He was, in my mind, a type of true manliness,
scorning to do a mean act, and showing by every deed his great
strength of character and true nobleness. He was ill not quite
a week. He was taken with a violent cold, as we supposed.
We applied all of the simple remedies that we knew of, and
wished to call in medical advice, but he would not allow it. He
was anxious to die, and be free from pain. He often said, 'It is
all right; I shall soon be across the river.' He suffered most
intense pain through his lungs and left side, but retained his
reason to the last moment. We sent for a doctor Friday morn-
ing ; he told us that nothing could be done for him. His disease
was typhoid pneumonia. About an hour before he died, his suf-
fering ceased, he lay quiet, and finally closed his eyes like a tired
child and softly breathed his last. We do not feel as if we can
mourn for one so saintly ; but his wife, the one who has been
his constant companion for over seventy years, will feel as if she
is desolate indeed. For the last eight years he had hardly left
her for a moment, and a great part of the time waited upon her.
She has the consolation that only a few years at the most will
separate them. The loss of such a good man to the church and
his friends is great indeed. He was intuitively a gentleman."

General Shuey was not permitted to see the Centennial Inde-
pendence Day, but up to the close of his life he took as much
interest in the welfare of our country as when a much younger
man. He was a connecting link between the old and the new.
When Washington died he was a boy fourteen years of age.
Thus one life carries us back a long distance. When he was a
boy the whole population and wealth of the Western States were
not equal to the New York of to-day. A single western city
has now more inhabitants than the whole State of Pennsylvania
had when he left it. There were no steamboats on our lakes or
rivers, no railroads, no traveling from sea to sea in luxurious
sleeping coaches, no electric wires to carry the swift messages.
To go as far west as Illinois was a great undertaking. The Mis-
sissippi river was a long, long way off. It almost broke the
heart to think of moving so far away. He was emphatically a
pioneer. He was a progressive spirit. The first thing after
clearing a place for a home was to erect a school-house and
chapel. He always paid great attention to eduction and religion.

In 1833, General Shuey became a deacon of the Baptist
Church, by the choice of his brethren and the laying on of hands
by Revs. Logan, Chapman and Clark. For over thirty years he

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 153

held that office, until too feeble and infirm to regularly attend
to his duties.

Though unable to attend the services of the church, Father
Shuey forgot not her interests. Almost with his last breath his
prayer was for her prosperity, and the welfare of the church was
dear to his heart. With him religion was more than a mere belief
or a creed ; it was a life which became his own more and more as
he grew in years. For the last four years his health was feeble.
Most of this time he was confined to his room. He was at times
a great sufferer, but all was borne with Christian fortitude and
patience. These otherwise lonely hours, while confined to hi3
room, he spent in useful reading, and no doubt many an hour
was passed in meditation on heavenly things and the life to come,
which he so soon expected to enter. Loving hands ministered to
the wants of his declining years, and he murmured not, though
his afflictions at times were great. After a week of extreme
pain and suffering, he gently passed away, as a weary child who
seeks rest in sleep. He died on the morning of Saturday, Feb-
ruary 12, 1876.

His funeral took place from the East Oakland Baptist Church,
on Sunday afternoon, February 13, 1876. The services were
simple but impressive. His pastor, spoke from the words, "Enoch
walked with God, and was not, for God took him." Many gath-
ered to look for the last time upon the face, now cold in death, of
one whom all loved. While the coffin was resting in the church,
before the altar, and fragrant flowers, contributed by loving
hands, were sweetly glowing upon the bosom of the deceased, a
solemn stillness pervaded the assembly of mourning friends who
were sitting close by, gazing upon the corpse, while listening to
the words of wisdom as they fell from the lips of the man of God.
The sun shining through the stained-glass windows, throwing its
colored light upon the corpse, produced a halo of glory which
seemed to foretell the glorious mansions to which the spirit of
the deceased had gone. Thus passed away a great and good man.

1. John Shuey (4) was born March 27, 1811, in Montgomery
county, Ohio. He married Lucinda Stowe, January 16, 1834, in
Adams county, Illinois. They had ten children, viz: Cephas M.,
Virgil H., Elizabeth S., Homer S., Margaret M., Marcus M.,
Sarah I., and Mary A. (twins), John W. and Henry W. (twins).
John went to Oregon in 1847, making the trip over the plains and
Rocky Mountains with the earliest emigrants, and finally came to
California. Later he returned to Illinois. In 1856 he went by
Panama to the Pacific Coast, and landed in California. Return-

154 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

ing a second time to Illinois, he brought his family in 1856 to
California by way of Panama. In 1870 he visited his friends in
Ohio, and was present at the Shuey picnic held at Dayton, Ohio.
He consequently made the trip no less than seven times between
the East and California. His experience of traveling was there-
fore extensive, and he manifested a considerable degree of perse-
verance in his life. He might be thought to have been of a roving
disposition, but this was not the fact. After finding a place in
California where he wished to make his future home, it was neces-
sary for him to bring his family, which necessitated several trips
across the continent.

John served in the Black Hawk war in 1832, under Capt. Hood.
This was of short duration, and happened during President Jack-
son's administration.

John was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
He was a good man, and his life was a remarkably pure one.
He endeavored to lead his children by example as well as by pre-
cept, in the paths of industry, temperance, honesty and holiness,
and to instil principles of truth. He endeared himself to all who
knew him by his strict integrity and by his Christian walk and
conversation. He was a farmer, and lived near Brooklyn, Cali-
fornia.

John Shuey died July 31, 1875, aged 64 years, 4 months and
4 days. He died a peaceful, happy Christian death, and quietly
breathed his last soon after kind friends had sung a beautiful
hymn. The letter announcing his death says : "It is certainly a
great consolation to know that he rests securely in a loving Sav-
iour's arms, and is free from all care and suffering, but our home
seems so desolate, and everything about us awakens tender recol-
lections of him, and everywhere we turn, we see something that
he had done." Though he had to suffer long, yet he was very
patient, and never murmured. He was willing to depart, and
quietly fell asleep to awake with Christ in the resurrection of the
just.

the State University at Berkeley, where she took a full scientific
course and graduated in 1876. She also took a course in medi-
cine and has been a successful practicing physician since in Oak-
land, Cal. She is the family physician for some of the most prom-
inent and wealthiest families in Oakland and Berkeley. She has
made two trips to Europe, both times as the attending physician
of some wealthy family on their journey abroad. In October,
1911, she went under a surgical operation for appendicitis and
her health was fully restored. In a friendly letter to the author
in December, 1912, she says: "I am so thankful to be alive and

156 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

hope that I may be spared for many years of service. I realize
more and more the privileges of the physician and the great joy
that comes from service. So much heroism is shown often where
least expected, and self-denial and courage under dire loss and
deprivation. And, besides our patients are friends and welcome
us always. * * * Good friends took me to Europe last year and
it was a great rest and pleasure, and made me more ready than
ever for work. I had a chance, too, to attend the Psychological
Clinic in the University of Pennsylvania for several months. I
am much interested in the Juvenile Court work, and am satisfied
that much of the delinquency in a moral way that appears in chil-
dren is due to a physical disability. The careful examination of
eyes, throats, ears, teeth, nervous system of derelict children

Shelby county, Ind., and in 1829 to Adams county, 111. Robert
was raised on the farm and became a robust man. In McDon-
ough county, 111., on Dec. 24, 1844, he married Nancy M. Logan,
daughter of Rev. John Logan, a successful Baptist minister.
Mrs. Shuey was a first cousin to Gen. John A. Logan, who was
a famous Union officer in the war of the rebellion. Six chil-
dren were born to them, viz : — Evaline, Sarah J., Lucinda C,
John A., Awilda L., and Granville E. Robert was a man who
was not afraid to venture out into the world and went to Cali-
fornia in 1849, across the plains and reached "Hangtown," now
Placerville, Aug. 25, 1849, and worked in a gold mine near
Coloma, where gold was first discovered. He took cholera in
Sacramento, which unfitted him to work in the mine. On Jan.
15, 1851, he left San Francisco by water by advice of the phy-
sician as his only chance of recovery, went by way of the Isthmus
of Panama, and then by the Mississippi river to his former home
in Adams county, 111., about fifteen miles east of Quincy, with
his health fully restored, surprising his family on reaching home.
In 1854 he bought a farm in Hancock county, 111., where he
farmed until 1859, when he sold out and with his family again
went across the plains, via Omaha and the Platte river, Ft.
Laramie and Sweetwater river, and arrived in the Moroga Val-
ley on Oct. 15, 1859. Again he was in the mine until 1864, when
he began farming until 1883. They moved to East Oakland in

tain View cemetery. He was a faithful and devoted member

Sarah I. Shuey in Oakland, in Aug., 1903, when his eighty-third

Dr. Sarah I. Shuey, the hostess who had provided a splendid
supper. The few hours spent together were very pleasant and
profitable. Each of the above, as they registered, gave their an-
cestral branch of Shueys after their names, which became of
value in the preparation of this history. Robert M. Shuey died
June 26, 1911, in his ninetieth year. He was a member of "The
Society of California Pioneers." After his death this society,
through a committee appointed for the purpose, prepared a
beautiful "In Memoriam," covering a number of pages, much
of which is similar to that given above of his life and character,
which was adopted by said society, at a regular meeting, Aug. 5,
1911. He was a staunch Republican; so are all the California

stricken with pneumonia and in less than twenty-four hours
passed away on Feb. 28, 1911. But Mrs. Mann has bravely

Pittsburgh, where, with their household goods, they took passage
on a flat boat for Cincinnati, from which town they continued

also the first postmaster of Miamisburg and assessor of Mont-
gomery county. Tn their youth they became members of the
United Brethren Church, and, during all the years of their long
and active lives, their house was not only a house of prayer and
worship, but a home for the weary itinerants of the United
Brethren Church. In 1836 they removed to a farm of one
hundred and seventy acres, only ten of which were cleared, near
Lagonda, in the vicinity of Springfield, Ohio. Here they found
no religious organization, and in 1843 they were the means of
planting there a flourishing church and erecting a house of wor-
ship, called Newcomer Chapel, which has been succeeded by the
Lagonda Avenue United Brethren Church, in Lagonda, now a part
of Springfield. In 1854 they moved to Dayton, Ohio, where Mr.
Shuey was for some time foreman of the mailing department of
the United brethren Publishing House. Here they were faithful
members of the First United Brethren Church, in which Mr.
Shuey served as class-leader and steward. For three years Mrs.
Shuey was comparatively helpless, and during the last thirteen
months she was confined to her bed. Death relieved her of her
sufferings on the 21st of February, 1876. She died in peace at
the age of 76 years, 10 months and 24 days. Mr. Shuey was
very devoted to his life companion during her protracted illness,
and he keenly felt all her sufferings. After the death of his wife
Mr. Shuey lived with his only son, Rev. William J. Shuey, in
Dayton, Ohio, until his death from pneumonia, April 22, 1882, at
the advanced age of 82 years, 7 months and 1 day. His remains
and those of his wife rest in Woodland cemetery, Dayton, Ohio.

Mr. Shuey was a large man, being six feet in height and
weighing about one hundred and eighty pounds. He was very
industrious, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He
was of high standing in the community, and his acquaintances
looked upon him as being an excellent man and a perfect gentle-
man. In politics he was a Whig and afterward a stanch Re-

3. Rev. William John Shuey, D.D., (4), was born in Mianiis-
burg, Montgomery county, Ohio, Feb. 9, 1827. The house in
which he was born was built by his father, Adam Shuey, and is
still standing'. It is located on the west side of Alain Street, near
the center of the town. In 1836, when he was nine years of age,
his father moved to a farm near Springfield, Clark county, Ohio,
where he grew to manhood and acquired the physical strength
which served as the foundation for his arduous labors in after life.
After pursuing his studies in the common schools of Montgomery
and Clark counties, he entered the Ohio Conference High School,
a Methodist institution, in Springfield, Ohio, where he took a par-
tial academic course. In March, 1843, he made a profession of re-
ligion, being then sixteen years of age. His mind and heart were
now set upon the ministry, which he entered at the age of nine-
teen. He received an appointment as junior preacher on a large
circuit embracing Dayton, Ohio, and it was during his pastorate,
in 1847, that the First United Brethren Church of Dayton was
organized. For a time he taught school at Lagonda, near Spring-
field, Ohio. ( )n the 7th of March, 1848, he married Sarah Ber-
ger, a daughter of Daniel and Esther Berger, who then lived on a
farm near Springfield, Ohio, but had emigrated in 1838 from
Berks county, Pennsylvania, where Sarah was born Oct. 9, 1827.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. William R. Rhinehart, the
first editor of the Religious Telescope. The home which was
then established has always been notable for its generous hos-
pitality.

In September, 1848, he became a member of the Miami Annual
Conference of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, at its
session in Farmersville, Ohio. He was pastor of the Lewisburg
Circuit from 1849 to 1851, of the First United Brethren Church in
Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1851 to 1854, from 1856 to 1859. and from
1862 to 1863, and of the First United Brethren Church of Day-
ton, Ohio, from 1859 to 1861. He was presiding elder of the
Miami United Brethren Conference from the autumn of 1855 to
1856, from 1861 to 1862, and from 1863 to 1864. In June, 1854,
he was appointed the first foreign missionary of the United
Brethren Church, the field selected being Africa, and sailed from
New York City, Jan. 23. 1855, with Rev. D. K. Flickinger and
Dr. D. C. Kumler, appointed later, landing at Freetown, Sierra
Leone, West Africa. Feb. 26, 1855. After assisting in locating

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 175

a mission near Freetown, he returned late in the summer. This
mission has since grown until now it is one of the largest and most
important in Western Africa.

In 1864 he was chosen Assistant Publishing Agent of the
United Brethren Publishing House, at Dayton, Ohio, and in 1865
he was elected by the General Conference Principal Agent, be-
coming sole Publishing Agent in 1866, and served the Church in
this position until 1897, a total period of thirty-three years.
During this time the net assets of the Publishing House increased
from about SI 1,000 to over $322,000. The present net assets are
over $659, COO. During Mr. Shuey's administration the business
was firmly established and its credit was of the highest order.
Mr. Shuey is an excellent business man, and his strict integrity
and strong perseverance amply qualified him for the responsible
and laborious position to which the greater portion of his active
life was devoted.

It was mainly through the instrumentality of Mr. Shuey that
the first and only theological seminary of the United Brethren
Church, at first called Union Biblical Seminary, now Bonebrake
Theological Seminary, located at Dayton, Ohio, was founded in
1871. He first suggested the idea to the General Conference, in
1869, advocated it, and finally secured the action of the General
Conference which led to the establishing of the institution. For
many years he was a member of the Executive Committee of the
Seminary, and upon his retirement from the management of the
Publishing House, in 18^7, the General Conference elected him
Business Manager of the Seminary, which position he held for
four years, when, in 1901, he retired from official work in the
Church, at the age of seventy-four.

Mr. .Shuey has been a minister in the United Brethren Church
for a period of seventy-one years, and has never missed a session of
the Miami Annual Conference, to which he lias belonged during
this whole period. He has been a delegate to nine General Con-
ferences and the secretary of one ; a member of the Board of Mis-
sions twenty-six years; one of the first directors of the Church
Erection Society ; for twelve years from its organization the super-
intendent of the General Sabbath-school Association, and for
many years its treasurer ; for four years a member of the Church
Board of Education ; for twenty-two years a trustee of Otterbein
University ; a member of the Executive Committee of Union
Biblical Seminary; a member of the Church Commission on Re-
vision of the Confession of Faith and Amendment of the Constitu-
tion of the Church ; and for many years a member of the General

Board of Trustees of the Church. He was a trustee of the First
United Brethren Church of Dayton, Ohio, for forty years, a
member of the Montgomery County Bible Society, president of
the Dayton United Brethren Ministers' Association, a member
of the Dayton Board of Education and of the Board of Trade,
for twenty-seven years a director of the Fourth National Bank,
and for a number of years vice-president of the Union Safe
Deposit and Trust Company, of Dayton, a director of the Asso-
ciated Charities and a director and vice-president of the Miami
Valley Hospital of Dayton, and has occupied still other positions
of trust in the Church and community.

In 1859 he became the joint author with Rev. D. K. Flickinger
of a volume entitled, "Discourses on Doctrinal and Practical Sub-
jects." He also originated and edited for many years the Year
Book of the United Brethren Church; was editor of the General
Conference Minutes from 1865 to 1893; contributed an article on
the United Brethren Church to McClintock and Strong's Cyclo-
pedia ; has issued a number of pamphlets, and has been a frequent
contributor to the Religious Telescope. In 1880 the title of Doc-
tor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Hartsville University,
but was declined. At a later date, when the title was bestowed
upon him by Otterbein University, he was persuaded to accept it.

One of the most difficult and delicate tasks which fell to Mr.
Shuey's lot was the management for the Liberals of the pro-
longed litigation between the Liberals and Radicals following the
secession of the Radicals from the United Brethren Church in
1889. Trials were held in many States and in the Federal courts,
resulting finally in the awarding of the Church property to the
Liberals in nearly all cases. The Publishing House, of which
Mr. Shuey was at that time the manager, was required to pay
the expenses of the Liberals, and Mr. Shuey employed and in-
structed the numerous attorneys engaged in the controversy on
the side of the Liberals. One of the chief legal counselors was
Hon. Lewis B. Gunckel. whose mother. Barbara Shuey Gunckel,
was a sister of Mr. Shuey's father. Among the judges who
decided the case in favor of the Liberals was Hon. William H.
Taft, then a judge of the United States District Court, and later
President of the United States.

In politics Mr. Shuey was at first a Whig, but has been a Re-
publican since the organization of that party, though often voting
independently on local issues. From his youth he favored the
abolition of slavery, and he has always advocated the prohibition

of the liquor traffic and believed in the extension of the suffrage
to women.

On March 7, 1898, Mr. and Mrs. Shuey celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage at their home in Dayton, a large
number attending the reception in their honor. Soon after Mrs.
Shuey's health declined, and after nearly three years of illness,
during a large part of which she was unable to walk, she died of
paralysis on June 27, 1901, at the age of 73 years, 8 months and
18 days. Mr. Shuey tenderly cared for her until the end came.
Since then Mr. Shuey has continued to live most of the time in
his own commodious house, which he had built for himself and
family in 1882, at 35 South Perry Street, where he receives every
possible attention from his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
William A. Shuey.

On the 9th of February, 1917, he celebrated his ninetieth birth-
day anniversary. He received many letters, cards, and telegrams,
and numerous beautiful plants and bouquets. About six hundred
called to congratulate him upon his having attained such an ad-
vanced age. Among them were numerous general officers of the
United Brethren Church. The United Brethren Publishing
House ceased its operation for an hour, and publisher, editors, and
employees, nearly three hundred in number, called at Mr. Shuey's
home, about two blocks distant, and, passing before him, each laid
a carnation on a table at his side. An address was then presented
to him by the publisher, and another by the secretary of the For-
eign Missionary Society of the Church, to both of which he re-
plied in fitting words. Later about forty members of the Dayton
United Brethren Ministers' Association called and conducted an
interesting program, including addresses by the resident bishop
and the pastor of the First United Brethren Church, to which
Mr. Shuey made an extended and impressive response.

Mr. Shuey has in his possession a precious heirloom in the
form of an old wall clock, nearly eight feet in height, which, so
far as known, has been in the Shuey family ever since it came
from its maker. As indicated by inscriptions on the clock itself,
it was made in 1774, by Daniel Rose, Reading. It belonged to
Mr. Shuey's father and grandfather, and was brought to Mont-
gomery county, Ohio, by his grandfather, in 1805. It has stood
in Mr. Shuey's home for forty-three years, and at the age of one
hundred and forty-five years, with the original brass works, it
still keeps excellent time.

Mr. Shuey, with his son William A. and his son's wife, passed
unharmed through the great flood in Dayton, March 25-28, 1913,

178 HISTORY OF TFIE S1IUEY FAMILY

having eight feet one inch of water on the first floor of the house.
They lived for three days and nights on the second floor, with no
fire, and very little light at night.

Mr. Shuey is a large man, being about five feet, ten and one-
half inches in height and weighing in his prime about one hundred
and eighty pounds. He is of a quiet disposition and humble bear-
ing, and has the full appearance of a deep thinker, which he un-
doubtedly is. He is kind and friendly in manner, and is univer-
sally respected by those who have the pleasure of a personal ac-
quaintance. He not only possesses business qualifications of a
high order, but has been a wise counselor, an able preacher, and a
successful pastor. He has been one of the most influential men in
the Church to which he has devoted bis life, and in the community
in which he has lived for more than fifty years.

Mr. and Mrs. Shuey had four children, viz: Albert Law-
rence, Edwin Longstreet, William Applegate, and Lincoln Chase.

1. Albert Lawrence Shuey (5) was born in Cincinnati, Ohio,
July 6. 1852, and died in Dayton, Ohio, November 28, 1855, aged

honors of his class and the gold medal for scholarship. He grad-

degree of A.M. in 1880. After graduation he studied law for one
year, then taught seven years- — at Green Hill Seminary, Indiana,
Eostoria Academy, Ohio, and his Alma Mater, Otterbein.

In 1885 he became the head of the Book Department of the
United Brethren Publishing House, Dayton, where he remained
twelve years, making the "U. B. Book Store" a prominent and
successful feature of the business and of the city. It was during
his superintendency that the "International Teacher's Bible" was
introduced into this country and the American Edition made.
He was the American Editor of the Teachers' Aids accompanying
this Bible, which were new and practical in their methods. The
"Word Book" method he employed here has since been enlarged
and adopted by other Bibles. He also wrote a hand book of "The
United Brethren in Christ."

In 1897 Mr. Shuey became head of the newly planned Welfare
Work of The National Cash Register Co., doing pioneer work in
organizing social betterment work in neighborhoods and practical
comfort among factory people. Erom his studies during these
three years here, he wrote "Factory People and Their Employers,"

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 179

containing practical examples of welfare work in this country and
Europe. He has written numerous articles on this subject and
on educational themes.

Three years later Mr. Shuey became associated with the Lowe
Brothers Company, Dayton, among the largest paint and varnish
manufacturers of the country. In this business he continued
until 1918. At the same time he has been engaged in other busi-
ness enterprises in his own and other cities.

Much of Mr. Shuey's time and effort has been given to
church and other organizations: Since 1887, trustee of the Dayton
Young Men's Christian Association ; five years its president ; for
eighteen years chairman of the Educational Committee, developing
a complete scheme of night school work.

Since 1893, member of the International Committee of the
Y. M. C. A. In 1894 one of its representatives at the Jubilee in
London, and in 1898 president of the International Convention.

the great educational work organized in all parts of the country.

Committee (1902-1908) ; Board of Foreign Missions of the United
Brethren in Christ ; member of the Committee of Direction of the
Commission on Inter-Church Federations in the Federal Council
of Churches : trustee of Otterbein University ; trustee of the Day-
ton Public Library ( 1897-1(~M2) ; and other civic and church or-
ganizations, and president of the Association of National Adver-
tisers (1916).

At the beginning of the war with Germany, he was appointed
a member of the Advisory Committee on Labor of the National
Council of Defense. At the same time he was named a member
of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., and as
a member of its Executive Committee and its Personnel Commit-
tee gave nearly a year to the selection and training of Y. M. C. A.
workers for overseas service In 1918 he received the degree of
Doctor of Laws from his Alma Mater.

In his own church — the First United Brethren of Dayton — he
is president of the Board of Trustees and teacher of the Young
Men's Bible Class. In 1916 his class celebrated his fortieth year
of continuous Sunday-school service, all but four having been
given to teaching, and thirty-one years having been occupied in the
one Sunday school.

In 1882 he married Effie Mitchell, of Springfield, Ohio, who
has been his active associate in his work in all his interests. "She is

confining his attention to England and Paris. While abroad he
wrote a number of very interesting letters to members of the fam-

form by his father.

In the autumn of 18c'0 ill health compelled him to resign his
position in Xew York, and he spent a large part of the year fol-
lowing at Asheville, North Carolina. 1 le visited his home in Day-
ton twice during this period, and was planning to return to Day-
ton permanently when he was stricken with diphtheria and died

positions of great responsibility. He was genial in his manner,
and possessed the confidence and esteem of a wide circle of
friends.

///. JOHN SHUEY (2)

John Shuey, third son of Ludwig Shuey, was born Dec. 10,
1752, as given in the Dayton picnic paper, but in the Swatara
Church book his name is given with the date Dec. 7. 1752. His
sponsors at baptism were his uncle John Shuey and wife Cath-
arine. His younger days were spent in Bethel township, Lancaster
county, Pa. He married a Miss Russell, and had three children,
viz: John, Christina and Elizabeth. He moved to Washington
county, Maryland, about two miles from Boonsboro. Here he
followed farming. The date when he moved to Maryland is not
known; but we find in the Recorder's office at Hagerstown, that
he sold a piece of land to Yost Deaner, in 1796. This is recorded
in Book G, page 243. Then in 1798 he bought a tract of land
from John Kore, Book K, page 825 ; at the same time he sold two
tracts to John Kore, Book K, page 827-829. He also sold a tract
of land to Yost Deaner in 1798, Book L, page 131. His name in
all these cases is written John Shua. In 1801 he bought a tract
of land from Joseph Chaplin, Book O, page 36. Here his name
is written John Sheuey. We thus see that he was possessed of
considerable property. He was a farmer all his lifetime. He was
a member of the Reformed Church. He died about the year
1811. Mrs. Shuey died a few years afterwards. They died in
Washington county, Maryland.

VI. CHRISTIAN SHUEY (3)
Was born March 10, 1792, in Bethel township, Dauphin
county, Pennsylvania. When Christian was three years old his
father moved to Augusta county, Virginia, having bought a

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 215

thousand acres of land on the headwaters of Middle River, a
stream passing through the center of the county and one of the
three forming the Shenandoah River, lower down the valley.
This land was a part of the Burden grant. Burden was a young
Scotchman, who visited the valley of Virginia about 1730, and
having on a hunt captured a buffalo calf at what is now Buf-
falo Gap, in Augusta county, carried it to the capital, then Wil-
liamsburg, and presented it to the Colonial governor, who was
so pleased with it and Burden's description of the valley that he
induced him to go back to Scotland and get emigrants, promising
to every head of a family a thousand acres.

In our former edition we selected Christian Shuey as a type
of the older Virginia Shueys. He was erect, robust, hardy, fear-
less, and honest ; over six feet in height, and his weight above
200 pounds. He was modest and unobtrusive in his manner, and
temperate in his habits. He never drank any intoxicating bever-
ages nor used tobacco in any form. His father's house was a
general rendezvous for the preachers of the United Brethren
Church, who near the beginning of the last century pushed their
way on horseback into the upper valley of the Shenandoah.
For many years Henry Shuey's barn had been used as a preaching
place, and the plain teaching and artless manner of these primi-
tive pioneers awakened a calm religious fervor in young Chris-
tian's breast. In the summer of 1814 Catharine Geeding (born
in Shenandoah county, Virginia, in 1795), a granddaughter of
one of the three founders of this sect, was married to Christian
Shuey. They began life together on a farm of several hundred
acres, a part of the original tract, to which by thrift and industry
Christian added a valuable flouring and grist mill. In the early
days when Richmond, 130 miles away, was the chief market,
flour from Shuey's mill would be passed without inspection and,
being sold on its brand alone, would command. the highest price.
At this mill Christian Shuey had a fine opportunity to display
the charity and love for his fellow-man, however lowly, which
so strongly marked his character. For almost a generation after
his death people in the neighborhood would recount how poor
settlers along the mountain would trudge, often through winter's
snow and storm, to Shuey's mill, and he would cheerfully give
them what they could carry away, without any recompense save
the comfortable feeling that follows an act of charity.

He was a staunch Whig and was strongly opposed to seces-
sion. His last days were embittered by the spectacle of his
country torn asunder. The slavery question did not trouble

216 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

him. By his will, executed before the outbreak of the Civil
War, he provided for the manumission of his slaves. For the
elder ones a term of five, ten or fifteen years was fixed, during
which time they were "to continue in servitude in the family of
the son or daughter to whom given, to serve the family, for the
benefit of the family, provided they behave and conduct them-
selves properly. If they do not, they are to be hired out for the
benefit of my said children." The younger slaves were to be
freed at the age of thirty, that being regarded as an age when
they would have rendered sufficient service to repay the cost
and care of raising and still young enough to provide against
want in old age. All children born after the date of the will
were to become free along with their parents. It is needless to
state that the Civil War abolished slavery forever in this country.

Christian Shuey passed through life to his 70th year in per-
fect health of mind and body. Then one of the most painful
of maladies, cancer in the stomach, afflicted him. He bore the
pain for months in silence, even concealing it from his devoted
wife. He waited before consulting a physician until business
called him to the State Capital. He was then told the nature of his
ailment and that he could live but a few months longer. This
was in November, 1861. He returned home, disclosed his con-
dition to his family, met his fate with Spartan fortitude, and
Feb. 24, 1862, died the death of a true Christian. His body
was laid to rest in Bethlehem church yard, that being a church
building for which he had given the land, and he had been the
principal contributor to its construction, and of its congregation he
was a devout and unostentatious member. After his death the
mill property was sold, but his widow continued to live in the old
home, and she farmed with prudence and care until she died in
her 88th year. The farm is now owned by Lee Trimble, whose
first wife was a granddaughter of Christian and Catharine Geed-
ing Shuey.

1. George Adam Shuey (4) was born at what was then
known as Shuey's mill, in Augusta county, Virginia, June 7, 1815.
His baptismal name was that of his great-grandfather, George
Adam Guething, (Geeding), one of the founders of the United
Brethren Church. He showed a great aptitude for books and
study in his boyhood, and learned much of Greek and Latin under
the tutelage of a country school teacher. He then attended a
classical academy in Stanton, and also helped on his father's
farm. He made a journey on horseback through the West, as
the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were then known, and,

as an itinerant preacher was spent on the Winchester circuit, and
the second year in Frederick county, Maryland. During his
second year's labor he attended a camp-meeting in Franklin
county, Pennsylvania, and there met Miss Martha Goldsmith,
the niece of Rev. Samuel Huber, a leading member of the
Pennsylvania Conference. They were married Sept. 1, 1840,
and had six children, viz : Sarah Catharine, Mary Eliza, Theodore
Frelinghuysen, Marie Antoinette, Ephraim Geeding, and an-
other son who died in infancy. He then purchased a farm seven
miles north of his father's home, midway between Buffalo Gap
and Churchville, and devoted the rest of his life to agricultural
pursuits, though preaching occasionally and performing the other
functions of a minister of the gospel.

During the Civil war George A. Shuey remained true to the
Union, and in this he was strongly upheld by his patriotic wife.
After the war, the former officials having been disqualified,
he was appealed to by his former political enemies to fill certain
minor offices, as register and justice of the peace, and he per-
formed the duties in a manner satisfactory to all. This showed
the high esteem in which he was held by the community. In
March, 1872, his faithful wife died of dropsy. His second wife
was Miss Susan Ryan, the daughter of Nicholas Ryan, a promi-
nent farmer and stockman in the western part of the county.
They were married Feb. 2, 1875, but before the end of the year,
he suffered from exposure, due to a sudden change in the
weather, and was attacked with a congestion of the lungs from
which he never recovered. He died Oct. 25, 1876, soothed by
the kind ministrations of his Christian wife and happy in the
love of God.

George A. Shuey possessed many of the characteristics of his
father. He led a just and upright life, was humane, generous,
modest in his manner and temperate in his habits, a stranger to
the use of tobacco, and intoxicating liquors. At the time of his
death. Rev. Dr. J. W. Hott, afterwards a bishop of the United
Brethren Church, was assistant editor of the Religious Tele-
scope, the principal church organ, at Dayton, Ohio. Rev. Dr.
Hott, soon after the death of his friend, the subject of this
sketch, wrote for his paper a fitting and beautiful memorial,
from which the following brief extract is taken :

"Forty years ago his name stood on the itinerant list.
Reasons sufficient to his mind caused him to prefer a local rela-
tion for the greater part of his life. Still he was a preacher.

218 HISTORY OF THE SIIUEY FAMILY

He was an honor to the cause he espoused in youth, and his life
reflected a beauty and 'praise to the church of his ancestors of
which any company of Christians might be justly proud. As I
look back upon his life of uniform consistency and Christian
purity, it shines adorned with a luster of peculiar beauty. His
tenderness and quietness of spirit made him a model of simplic-
ity and honesty of character. Few men were more real than
he. His reading and observation opened the widest field of
thought, and furnished him with a basis for a good view of any
great question. There were few men not given wholly to literary
pursuits who were so well informed upon the living questions of
the day. His exercises in public at once impressed one with his
familiarity with the word of God. Its spirit commingled with the
spirit of his life, and its form was the mold to which his thought
and speech were conformed."

and Martha Shuey, was born on the farm of her parents, near

immigrant inspector at Key West, Florida. In 1916 he became
a junior lieutenant in the Florida Naval Militia, and is now a
captain in the United States Navy.

3. Theodore F. Shuey (5), eldest son of George A. and
Martha Shuey, was born Feb. 2, 1845. He lived upon his
father's farm until 1862, when he entered Otterbein University.
However, at the close of the school year, as he was about to
enlist in an Ohio regiment, a dear, kind uncle in Franklin
county, Pa., sent his son, then a student at Pennsylvania Col-
lege, Gettysburg, to Ohio to bring his bellicose nephew to his
home. They arrived just as General Lee was invading the
State. The students of Pennsylvania College and Theological
Seminary were the first to respond to President Lincoln's call
for emergency troops. Young Shuey and his cousins went to
Harrisburg and enlisted in this company and were sent to Gettys-
burg to join their regiment. They reached Gettysburg after the
regiment had been routed and as the Confederates were taking
possession of the town. Thus these would-be soldiers witnessed
the great battle, seeing it from the Federal side the first day and
from the opposing side the two following days. After the bat-
tle they joined their regiment at Harrisburg and went with it to
the Maryland border. By a singular coincidence the only two
members of Company A., 26th Pa. Volunteer emergency men,
who were not students at the college and seminary, were the
subjects of this sketch, and the author of this family history.
The same kind uncle got young Theodore a school to teach, but
soon growing tired of it he ran off to Philadelphia and enlisted
for three years or the war." As a member of the 18th Corps
he saw hard service in the campaign of 1864 around Richmond
and Petersburg, and in the spring of 1865 he would have died
in a hospital if the same kind uncle, Samuel Garver, had not
come to his rescue. In June, 1865, he was able to go to Harris-
burg, and obtain a discharge from the army, and before the end
of the following month he was at his father's home in Virginia.
In the fall he returned to Otterbein and remained until near
the end of 1866, when he again went to his home and began
applying his knowledge of shorthand to the newspapers of his
native State. It should be stated that when in his fifteenth year
an itinerant minister had his home at George A. Shuey's house,
and he, Rev. Samuel Evers, when a student at Otterbein, gained
some knowledge of shorthand. Young Theodore became inter-
ested in the art and pursued the study with vigor. Considering
the time, soon after the war, he met with much encouragement,

222 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

but in the latter part of 1868 he went to Washington in search of
a better field. He was employed by the official reporters of the
United States Senate and in the following year was given a place
on the corps. That has been his life work. In 1896 his chief died
and Theodore was given his place by a unanimous vote of the
Senate. In addition to his regular duties he has reported Con-
gressional committees and conventions in nearly all the principal
cities of the country, and he spent more than half a dozen of
his vacations in Europe, some of them extending from early in
March until late in November.

On the death of his father in 1876, Theodore F. acquired the
old home place, and to round it out properly he bought six dis-
tinct parcels of land, not aggregating altogether fifty acres. Dur-
ing all the ensuing years this has been his country home, a place
of rest and recreation. He has been twice married. His first
wife was Miss Martha Summerfield Mayes, a native of Alabama.
They were married July 7, 1881, in Charlottesville, Va., and three
children were the issue of this marriage, viz : Agnes Louise,
Paul Garth, and Philip McGregor. His second wife was Miss
Willie M. Mayes, a native of Mississippi, and they were married
in Mobile, Alabama, Nov. 7, 1887. They have two children,
viz : Katharine Goode and Dorothy Jefferson. Mrs. Shuey's
grandmother was Martha Jefferson Goode and the grandmoth-
er's grandmother was Martha Jefferson, sister of Colonel Peter,
the father of Thomas.

1. Agnes Louise Shuey (6) was born June 22, 1882, in
Charlottesville, Va. She was educated at the leading ladies'
seminary in the town of her birth, and was married Sept. 7, 1905,

3, Eliza Ann Shuey (4) was born July 12, 1820. She was
married to Robert H. Holland, of Fluvanna county, Va., a mer-
chant. Sept. 12, 1837. Mr. and Mrs. Holland removed to Salem,
Va., about 1858, where he continued in the mercantile business.
At that time their eldest son was a student in Roanoke College,
and their object in removing from Augusta county was to be
near their sons, while attending that college. Mr. Holland
was a captain in the Confederate Army, and lived, a highly re-
spected citizen, until his death at a ripe old age in 1887. His
widow survived him for many years and died at the age of 85,
at the home of her son, Robert, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
They had three sons, George W., Robert C, and Newton.

1. George William Holland (5) was born July 16, 1838.
After graduating at Roanoke College and Gettysburg Theological
Seminary he entered the ministry of the Lutheran Church.
However, in July, 1861, he enlisted as a private soldier in the Con-
federate Army, but in the following October, when returning
from outpost duty, he lost his left arm by the accidental discharge
of a gun in the hands of one of the company. Soon he was a
teacher at Roanoke College and captain of a company of re-
serves. Re-entering the ministry he was united in marriage,
Aug. 21, 1867, with Miss Pauline, only daughter of Rev. D. F.
Bittle, D.D., the distinguished president of Roanoke College.
For seventeen years prior to his death, Sept. 30, 1895, Rev. Dr.
Holland was president of Newberry College, South Carolina.
A beautiful memorial volume was prepared under the direction
of the college authorities and printed at Charleston, S. C, and
a handsome structure, Holland Memorial Hall, was erected on
the college campus. His widow, a noble woman who shared all
her husband's toils and triumphs, is still living at Newberry,
South Carolina. Of their two children the daughter died in
infancy and the son was killed in his fourteenth year by the acci-
dental discharge of a gun in the hands of a companion.

2. Robert Christian Holland (5) was born April 20, 1840, in
Churchville, Augusta county, Va., was the second son of Robert
Harper Holland and Eliza Ann Holland (nee Shuey). His
early years were spent at school in Augusta county, taught by his
mother in her own home and by his father at Oakland and
Shiloh. At the age of twelve to fifteen he attended school in

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 227

Middlebrock, Va. In 1855 his parents moved to Salem, Va., and
he entered the preparatory department of Roanoke College,
graduating in 1860. He pursued a post-graduate course in
Hebrew and French, a more or less indistinct purpose of pre-
paring for the ministry having been entertained, fostered largely
by that great and good man, Dr. D. F. Bittle, president of the
college, whose blessed influence both as pastor and teacher was
often recognized with pathetic tenderness and affection. To his
honored parents and to Dr. Bittle, he was wont to attribute the
chief share, under God, in shaping his life.

In the spring of 1861 he volunteered as a Confederate soldier,
joining the Salem Artillery, and was stationed on Craney Island
in Hampton Roads, where he remained one year. Desiring a
more active service, he made application for a transfer to the
twenty-eighth Virginia regiment of Pickett's brigade. He
reached his new command just in time to engage in the battle of
Seven Pines. Then followed the Seven Days Battle around
Richmond, and participating in all the engagements of his com-
mand, his gallantry was rewarded by promotion to position of
Color Guard, and afterward to that of Sergeant.

Following the fortunes of Pickett's brigade, he was at Sec-
ond Manassas, where he was severely wounded. Rejoining the
army as soon as possible, he participated in engagements on the
Rappahannock, and in Eastern North Carolina, and in the sum-
mer of 1863 he was again marching with his surviving comrades,
toward the Potomac, through Maryland into Pennsylvania,
pressing toward Gettysburg, which was reached for that memor-
able third of July, and participated in the famous Pickett's
Charge. He was among a number who reached the breastworks,
and captured the cannon in front of them. Here he was wounded
in both arms. Wounded and a prisoner, he landed after a lapse
of two weeks on David's Island near New York. Here during
the summer he had a hard siege of sickness from his wounds,
and being disabled for military service, was released on parole,
and in November reached his home in Salem, Va. After recov-
ering sufficiently, he went to the University of Virginia in 1864,
to study law, graduating in 1866. He practised the profession
in Salem two years.

In 1868 he entered the ministry of his Lord and Master.
His first charge was at Hebron Church, Madison Court House,
Va., which he served until 1875, when he was called to Shepherds-
town, West Virginia. He remained in Shepherdstown only
three years, because of urgent solicitation to fill the vacancy in

228 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

the faculty of Roanoke College, caused by death of Dr. Bittle,
being elected Vice-President, but performing the duties of Presi-
dent, and occupying the chair of Moral and Intellectual Science.
IPs extreme modesty would not allow the title of President to be
affixed to his name, so sacred did he hold the name of D. F.
Bittle. After three years of active service as President and pro-
fessor at the College, he accepted a call to Martinsburg, West
Virginia. This call furnished a not unwelcome opportunity to
return to the Gospel ministry, and from 1881 to 1888 was pastor
of St. John's Church, which was largely rebuilt and remodeled
during this time.

In June, 1888, having accepted a call to Charleston, South
Carolina, he entered upon the work there as pastor of Went-
worth Street Church, now St. Andrews, Oct. 14, of same year,
and remained there nearly ten years. In 1892 the degree of
Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Roanoke College.
Also in this year of 1892 Dr. Holland was called by the Board
of Missions to go to Japan to begin work for the United Synod
in that country, but this call he felt compelled to decline, but held
himself ready to obey the call of the Church for anything here
at home that he could do for the work. In the providence of
God he did a great work for his Church in Japan.

At the time of going to Charleston, S. C, Dr. Holland re-
fused an urgent call to St. Luke's Church, Baltimore. Also
in 1892, he received a unanimous call to the Church of the
Ascension, Savannah, Georgia, and in 1896, a similar call to
College Church, Salem, Virginia. These flattering calls he felt
constrained to decline, for his work as pastor in Charleston.
He was elected to the highest positions the Church had to offer,
among them that of president of the Board of Directors of the
Theological Seminary, and he was thus in position to foster a
deep interest in the Seminary of the Southern Church.

This intense interest in this institution was greatly manifested
in 1900 by inaugurating a movement for the endowment of the
Seminary, called the Century Memorial. He was made chair-
man of this fund, the Century Memorial Fund, and in two years
it was carried to a successful issue, which caused great rejoicing
throughout the Church.

In 1888 he yielded to a pressing call to become pastor of St.
Mark's Church at Charlotte, North Carolina. While in Char-
lotte he also taught in Elizabeth College for women. Work
seemed to heap itself upon him, filling a term as president of the
North Carolina Synod also.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 229

In 1904 he was placed by the United Synod at the head of
the Mission Work, Home and Foreign. The work developed
along all lines. The founding of a school for boys in Japan
marked a special development in the foreign work. Beside being
a busy pastor and teacher, he had the Century Endowment and
other official work in the Church. These eleven years in Char-
lotte perhaps proved the busiest years of his life.

Later the Mission work was divided, and he was placed at
the head of the Foreign Mission Board, and having resigned as
pastor of St. Mark's, Charlotte, at the request of the Board of
Missions, he devoted his entire time to that work. The school
for boys in Japan was perhaps the crowning joy of his life-work,
at the same time the heaviest (at a cost of nearly seventy-five
thousand dollars for building only). He was signally successful
in leading the hosts of God's people into large undertakings for
the Kingdom of Christ. He filled with marked ability all the
highest positions in the Church, being president of all the Synods
in which he lived, and of the general body, the United Synod
in the South.

He was often heard to say that he never wanted "to be laid
on the shelf," and also hoped the Lord would spare him a lin-
gering illness. Both these wishes were granted, for he passed
away in Columbia, South Carolina, his home for the last few
years of his life, after an illness of only two weeks, having
worked up to the last.

He entered into Life on the seventeenth day of November,
1915. His body rests in East Hill cemetery, Salem, Virginia,
with his two little ones, his father, mother and brother Newton,
awaiting the glorious resurrection. He was trusted and loved by
the whole Church as it is the privilege of a few to enjoy. In his
death the Church sustained a great loss.

Dr. Holland was twice married. The first marriage was to
Kate Brown Shirey, Sept. 25, 1866. They had three children,
two dying in infancy, and one living to the age of seven years.
His second marriage was to Mary Virginia McClanahan, Jan.
12, 1893. There were no children. His wife survives him.
His lovely home life, so sacred, so blessed, words fail to depict.
His own words of tribute to a friend are well fitting here, for
in his home were "shrines hallowed by the heart's sincerest de-
votion, shrines consecrated by tenderest thought, most sacred
vows, love's sweetest ministrations and the incense of pledged
affection."

230 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

To his home his friends loved to come. Being of tender and
sympathetic affection as pastor he was loved by all. As a citizen
he enjoyed the highest honor and esteem. Every church and
community was better for his having served in it.

"He was gentle as he was brave and as courtly in the tender
offices of affection as he was princely and undaunted amid the
disasters of war." Much is expressed in the beautiful inscrip-
tion on his tombstone by his devoted friend and pastor.
"Exemplary as a citizen both in war and in peace ;
Eminent as a Christian through forty-seven years in the Luth-
eran ministry ;
Consecrated to the work of the evangelization of the world."

At the time of his death he was residing at (Eau Claire),
near Columbus, S. C. For many years before his death he had
been devoting himself particularly to the Japan mission field,
and since his death his devoted Christian wife has been striving
in the same field.

3. Newton Holland (5) was born in 1842, and after grad-
uating at Roanoke College studied medicine and became a suc-
cessful practitioner. In 1872 he was united in marriage with
Miss Agnes Hackett, of Louisa county, Virginia. He died be-
fore reaching his sixtieth year, and left three children, Mary,
Howard and Nina. Mary (6) is living with her husband and wid-
owed mother in Columbia, S. C. Nina (6) was the first woman
graduate of Roanoke College. While her uncle Robert was living
in Charlotte she accepted a position to teach in Elizabeth College,
a church institution for young ladies at that place. She was mar-
ried to L. E. Covington, a successful business man of Raleigh,
North Carolina. She is the editor of Everywoman's Magazine, a

232 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

VII. GEORGE SHUEY (3)

Was born Sept. 10, 1794, in Bethel township, Dauphin county.
Pa. The following year, 1795, his father moved to Augusta
county, Virginia. He was brought up on the farm, and himself
became a practical farmer. His farm occupied the middle of the
large tract of land bought by his father when he located in Vir-
ginia, his brother Christian having the tract adjoining his on the
north side and his brother Jacob, the tract south on which the
original home stands.

He married Elizabeth Misor, and to them six children were
born, viz : George Washington, Sarah Margaret, James William,
Elizabeth Jane, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jacob.

He was a man of striking personality. Tall, broad-shoulrt-
ered, erect, smooth-shaven, well proportioned, dignified, and quiet
in his manner, brave, daring and stalwart in character; conscien-
tious in the discharge of every duty, of unquestioned business
integrity, temperate and clean in his habits, using neither intoxi-
cants nor tobacco in any form.

He was not merely a life long member of Mt. Tabor Lutheran
Church but a faithful active deacon in it most of his life, and a
constant attendant and active participant in its every public
service.

The last twenty years of his life were saddened, first by the
death of his capable and worthy son on the field of battle, later
by the loss of all of his slaves who were so much capital in those
days, and finally by the failure in business of two influential old
friends for whom he had gone security for thousands of dollars.
The richest heritage he left his family is the memory of those
years of patient toiling and self-denial in the decline of life to
pay off other men's debts. The burden was shared as all his bur-
dens were, by his faithful wife and both lived to see the last
note of this surety paid and their own home free of encumbrance.

His devoted life companion died Feb. 14, 1881, and on Aug.
27, of the same year, 1881, he peacefully followed her, aged 86
years, 11 months and 17 days. Their bodies lie buried in the
same double grave by that of their son, Frank.

1. George Washington Shuey (4) was born in Augusta
county, Va., Sept. 26, 1824. He was brought up on his father's
farm in the sturdy methods of those early days before the build-
ing of railroads in Virginia, and many were the long and peril-
ous journeys he made even as a young boy with four-horse loads
of grain and farm produce to their two markets of that day,
Scottsville and Richmond, his only companion being a negro

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 233

slave boy a little younger than himself. He was given a country
school education, however, which was supplemented by two year's
attendance at the Virginia Institute (now Roanoke College),
then located within the bounds of Mt. Tabor congregation. On
Sept. 24, 1846 he married Sarah Margaret Beard and to this
union six children were born, namely Elizabeth, Catherine,
George, Jacob, Franklin and Margaret. In 1855 he bought from
his uncle Jacob Shuey the old first Shuey home in Virginia and
in it lived the remainder of his life, and from it passed to the life
beyond, Dec. 6, 1901, at the age of 77 years, 2 months and 10
days.

In build and appearance he was a typical Shuey. Six feet
tall, broad shouldered and stout, weighing about 200 pounds ;
fearless and brave, happy-faced and cordial in his manner, and
strictly temperate in his habits, using neither intoxicants nor
tobacco. He was a bountiful provider, hospitable and open-
hearted, kind to the poor, true to his friends, helpful to his
neighbors, honest in all business transactions, loyal and devoted
to his home and family, strong in his faith in God, patient in
suffering, triumphant in his death.

In politics he was a Democrat ; during the Civil war he took
sides with the land of his birth, the Southland.

In religion he was a lifelong Lutheran, having served Mt.
Tabor congregation as a deacon the greater part of his life and
up to his death. He saw the old church built and was chairman
of the building committee for the present structure ; was instru-
mental in procuring more land around the church and in enlarging
its cemetery.

He was a man of unusually good judgment, well read, public-
spirited and progressive, but cared nothing for civic offices or
honors. He did, however, in his younger years, succeed his
cousin, William H. Shuey, as captain of the Middlebrook Rifles.

When the C. & O. R. R. was building through that section
of Virginia he furnished for it both lumber and labor in con-
sideration of which he was made a stockholder of the company,
in which capacity he attended meetings in Richmond, going then
through the mountains over whose icy slopes he had so courage-
ously driven as a boy.

He was confined to his room and most of the time to his bed
for the last fourteen months of his life by rheumatism, which
settled in a fractured kneeecap. He suffered intensely, but was
conscious and rational to the last. Just as his spirit was depart-
ing he looked up, then closed his eyes, folded his hands across

234 HISTORY OF THE shuey family

his breast, took one deep breath and was gone. "Mark the
perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is
peace."

His faithful wife survived him by fourteen and one-half
years, making her home with their youngest daughter, Margaret
(Mrs. C. W. Foss), at 3808-8th Ave, Rock Island, Illinois, in
which home she fell peacefully asleep May 15, 1916, at the age of
87 years, 7 months, and 15 days. Her body rests in Mt. Tabor
cemetery between that of her husband and their little son, Jacob.

1. Elizabeth Virginia Shuey (5) was born Sept. 19, 1847.
She was given a good country school education, and on Feb.
14, 1869, was married to J. Luther Hailman, of Augusta county,
Va. With him she has shared many vicissitudes of both pros-
perity and adversity.

They have lived in a number of different towns in Virginia,
in Florence, Alabama, and in Washington, D. C.

They are members of the Lutheran Church and are the par-
ents of seven children : Harriet or Hattie Shuey, George Frank-
lin, Sarah Katharine, Clifton Luther, Hubert Victor, Eugene
Vernon, and John Allemong.

In 1892, during the period of their greatest financial pros-
perity, and while they were owners of a beautiful old southern
home in Front Royal, Va., their two daughters passed away.
Hattie (6), on July 14, at the age of 22, of typhoid fever. Katie
(6), on Oct. 15, aged 16 years. They were both consistent mem-
bers of the Lutheran Church and passed consciously and trium-
phantly to the life beyond. Their bodies lie buried side by side in
the Front Royal cemetery in plain view of their old home. Hattie
was an artist of some promise.

Clifton Luther Hailman (6) is also gone. He was engaged
in magazine photographic work on the Pacific Coast, and in the
spring of 1909 he left his boarding home for a few day's rest
on account of a severe headache from which he was suffering,
and has never been heard of since, though diligent search was
made for him. He was intensely fond of sea-bathing and having
poor heart action the family believe he was drowned while
bathing.

George Franklin Hailman (6) lives in Chester, Pa., where
he is superintendent of the Southern Pennsylvania Traction Co.

Hubert Victor Hailman (6) is a physician in Government
employ, and is now located at Ft. Simcoe, in the Yakima Indian
Reservation in the State of Washington.

2. Catharine Ann Shuey (5) was born in Augusta county,
Va., April 12, 1851. Like her older sister she was given a good
country school education. She was married June 5, 1870, to
John C. Firebaugh, who died six years afterwards. On Dec. 18,
1883, she was married to John Thompson, who died in 1892.

Catharine (7), and Shuey (7). Mrs. Thompson is a member
of the Mt. Tabor Lutheran Church and lives on her farm near
the village of West View, her address being Swoop, Va., Route 2.

3. George Eugene Shuey (5) was born April 2, 1854. After
attending the public schools near home he was educated at Roa-
noke College, Salem, Va., and Wittenberg Theological Seminary,
Springfield, Ohio, and ordained to the Lutheran ministry by
the Virginia Synod in Sept., 1886.

On July 9, 1889, he married Doris Bruning Hoppe, of Rich-
mond, Va., and they are the parents of five children: Elise (6),
Theodore (6), Marguerite (6), Doris (6), and Marion (6).

Professionally, Rev. Shuey was original striking and fearless
in his presentation of truth, being a gifted and forceful speaker.
He served during his ministry, Lutheran congregations in Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and Illinois.

Socially, he was witty, companionable, and sympathetic. In
his family he was home-loving, kind, self-denying and intensely
loyal.

When failing health forced him from the active ministry he
moved to a farm he had bought near Churchville, Va., and there
he peacefully fell asleep May 12, 1917, after a patient, uncom-
plaining struggle with Bright's disease. His mortal remains lie
buried in Mt. Tabor Lutheran cemetery, near by those of his
parents and grandparents.

Army, and held the position of Lieutenant of a company in the
5th Regiment Virginia Volunteers, Infantry, which served in the
Stonewall Brigade. At the first battle of Manassas, July 21,
1861, he was wounded, and died the following day, July 22, aged
26 years, 10 months and 3 days. He was a member of the
Lutheran Church.

6. John Jacob Shuey (4) was born Nov. 10, 1837, near
Swoope, Augusta county, Va. He grew up on his fathers farm
and received a common school education. The late Dr. D. F.
Bittle, founder and first president of Roanoke College, was his
pastor during early manhood, and tried to prevail upon him to
enter college in preparation for the Gospel ministry. But he
stoutly declined, an act that he sorely regretted in maturer years.

In boyhood, he was received into communicant membership
with Mt. Tabor Lutheran Church, of which he has remained a
consistent, faithful, and influential member. At different times,
he has held long terms as superintendent of the Sunday school.
For forty years he was the efficient treasurer of the congrega-
tion. He has been a trustee of the church property since young
manhood. Being a good singer, he led the music of his congre-
gation for many years in the days when musical instruments were
unknown in most country churches.

In the year 1858, he married Julia Frances Mizer and, receiv-
ing sixty acres of land and a little log cabin from his father, off
the home farm, they set out together upon the voyage of life.
When the Civil War broke out, he volunteered and entered the
ranks of the Confederate army as a soldier. He was wounded at
the first battle of Manassas, which terminated his career as a
soldier, excepting some time spent in the ranks of the Home
Guards near the close of the war, when Hunter made his raid
through southwestern Virginia. He served his government, how-
ever, on detail, as shoemaker for the army.

240 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

After the war, prices were high on all farm products, and the
couple went to work with a will. They were prosperous and
happy and soon accumulated sufficient money to purchase addi-
tional land and build a handsome large brick dwelling house to
take the place of the humble cabin.

As a farmer, he was eminently successful. He always kept
his fences and roads in good repair and his land in a good state
of cultivation.

He has always been a good citizen, taking active interest in
all matters relative to the public welfare. In politics, he has
always been a staunch Democrat, voting the straight Democratic
ticket in all national elections. Yet, he has taken a decided in-
terest in the temperance movements. Yielding to the Prohibi-
tion movement, he once consented to become a candidate for the
State legislature, upon the Prohibition ticket, polling the highest
vote ever cast by the party, and was defeated by only a very
small majority.

He has ever been a free and liberal supporter of all benevo-
lent objects. Few ever went away from him empty handed.

In Jan., 1904, his wife died, who had been to him a true
companion and helpmeet for thirty-six years. She was buried
in the family plot in old Mt. Tabor cemetery. They had three
children : Benjamin F., John W. and James L.

After the departure of his beloved wife, he sold his farm
and all his personal property to his youngest son, with whom
he makes his home, but much of his time he spends with his
other two sons.

Considering his age (he is now in his eightieth year), he is a
remarkably well preserved man. A man of indomitable will,
he has been strictly temperate in all his habits all his life, and,
to-day, his step is as elastic and his carriage as erect as that of a
man of forty years.

1. Benjamin Franklin Shuey (5) was born June 20, 1861,
near Swoope, Augusta county, Va. After completing the in-
struction given in the public schools, he attended the Augusta
Male Academy at Fort Defiance, for two years. He then en-
tered Roanoke College, which he attended for three sessions
and a half. Owing to a small-pox scare in the town of Salem,
he left college just before graduation and never returned.

On Dec. 22, 1889, he married Sallie V. Miller and took charge
of a large farm owned by his father-in-law. They were very
successful and prosperous, working hard and living economically
After the death of the wife's parents, they bought the farm

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 241

which they now own free from debt, besides having recently
purchased a large additional tract of land for grazing purposes.
The first tract is an old homestead and one of the most valuable
farms in the county.

Both he and his wife are members of the Mt. Tabor Lutheran
church. Highly respected and honored by everybody, they live
a quiet and unassuming life, attending strictly to their own busi-
ness. They have five children.

1. Mead F. Shuey (6) was born March 31, 1892. He at-
tended the public schools. In 1915, he married Miss Manley.
They live on the home place.

2. John Jacob Shuey, Jr. (6), was born Sept. 9, 1895.

3. William Haller Shuey (6) was born June 9, 1899.

4. Lewis Hermon Shuey (6) was born June 22, 1901.

5. May Alberta Shuey (6) was born May 25, 1905.
All are at home with their parents.

2. Rev. John William Shuey (5) was born May 20, 1867.
His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm, where he
learned to do all kinds of farm work. On account of defective
vision he was taken from the public school in his sixteenth year
and devoted all of his time to farm work until, at the age of
nineteen, he entered a business school, graduating in ten months.
He then returned to the farm and assumed largely its control
for his father.

When approached by his pastor and other clergymen upon
the subject of making preparation for the ministry, he pleaded
the excuse of being unable to pursue a classical course on account
of his eyes. One eminent divine answered this excuse by asking
the question: "Where did you get your eyes?" "Possibly," said
he, "if you were to use them as the Lord would have you, He
might overcome the difficulty, occulists are accomplishing won-
derful things nowadays." After this conversation, much time
was devoted to prayerfully considering the subject of the min-
istry.

Baptized in infancy, and confirmed in boyhood, he had always
been an active worker in the church and Sunday school. Now
that the difficulty as to eyes had been settled, there arose the
thought of the deficiency of early education, but, after much
thought and fervent prayer, he decided to enter college. At the
age of twenty-three he entered Roanoke College, bearing creden-
tials from his pastor. The first thing done after matriculating,
was to see an occulist who informed him that his trouble was,

242 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

in plain English, farsightedness which could be easily corrected
with the proper lenses.

Owing to the lack of preparation, he was compelled to enter
the boy's preparatory class. This made him the butt of many
jokes and cruel ridicule from the upper classmen. At the end
of five years, however, he graduated at the head of his class,
bearing away with him five certificates of First distinction, one
for each year, and the orator's medal.

After completing his academic course in college, he entered
the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Chicago. Owing to a
very virulent attack of typhoid fever at the close of his second
year, his physicians and teachers advised against returning to
Chicago. But the Dean of the seminary gave him a letter to the
president of his synod advising ordination.

In May, 1897, he accepted a call to a small Lutheran church,
near Lexington, Va., and, in the following August, after passing
an examination by the regular examining committee of synod,
was solemnly ordained to the Gospel ministry of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church. He served the little congregation to which
he was first called until called by his synod, in 1907, to take
charge of a mission that it was contemplating starting in Ports-
mouth, Va. He labored in this new field very successfully for
five years, gathering, in that time, a congregation of ninety-five
members, in a city where he was the first Lutheran minister to
hold a service.

When this mission was transferred to the oversight of the
general body, he received and accepted a call to return to his
first parish. This congregation was one of the smallest and
weakest congregations in the synod. To-day it stands fourth
from the top of the list, regarded from the standpoint of con-
tributions.

On the 17th of April, 1900, he married Beulah von Bora
Shank, of Rockingham county, Va. To her faithful companion-
ship and devotion to the work of the Church is due, in great
measure, whatever success has attended his labors. They have
three children : Julia, John and Clarence.

1. Julia Ellen Shuey (6) was born May 15, 1901. She was
baptized in infancy, confirmed a member of her father's church
on Easter. 1915. She lives with her parents and is in the high
school.

2. John Harry Fred Shuey (6) was born June 12, 1904.
He was baptized and, died at the age of seven months.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 243

3. Clarence William Shuey (6) was born July 8, 1906. Bap-
tized in infancy, he is now in the grade grammar school. He has
a very inquiring mind and devotes a great deal of time to the
study of birds. He is very fond of all kinds of animals and
soon wins their confidence.

3. James Luther Shuey (5) was born on March 12, 1871.
He has spent all his days upon the home place. When all his
brothers had left the old home, he remained and cared for his
parents. In infancy, he was baptized and, in boyhood received
into communicant membership with the church of his parents.
For years he has held an official position in the congregation
to which he belongs.

Though his education is limited to that furnished by the pub-
lic school, he is a man of good, sound judgment and well informed
upon the topics of the day. A very close observer, as well as a
careful reader of the farm journals, he may be considered a very
successful farmer. As a citizen, he is public-spirited, taking an
intelligent and active interest in all affairs pertinent to the pub-
lic welfare. In politics, he is a Democrat, though, in no sense,
a politician. Generous and liberal, almost to a fault, the needy
never go to him in vain. Possessed of more than ordinary
mechanical skill, he is handy with all kinds of tools and loves
to run machinery. Consequently, he keeps well posted as to the
latest improvements in farm machinery.

On Nov. 3, 1897, he married Ella Belle Bosserman, a very
frugal and industrious lady. After the death of his mother, he
bought the home farm from his father, there they live with their
family, highly respected and honored by everybody who knows
them. They have five children :

1. James Armand Shuey (6) was born Oct. 18, 1899. He
is a bright and industrious young man and lives with his parents.

2. John Lewis Shuey (6) was born Oct. 19, 1901.

3. Mary Elizabeth Shuey (6) was born April 26, 1903.

4. Maggie Virginia Shuey (6) was born Oct. 17, 1906.

5. Berta E. Shuey (6) was born July 21, 1916.

All are baptized members of the Lutheran Church. The boys
have both been confirmed.

VIII. JACOB SHUEY (3)

Was born June 20, 1797, in Augusta county, Va. He was

reared on the farm and farming was his chosen occupation. He

was united in marriage to Elizabeth Lowman, March 22, 1822.

They had nine children : William Henry, Mary Margaret, Ber-

244 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

nard Lewis, Catharine, Caswell Bell, Jacob Augustus, Jason
Harrison, Robert Glossbrenner, and Virginia Elizabeth. The
two latter are now the only survivors. Through frugality, econ-
omy, and industry he amassed a considerable property and owned
one of the finest farms in Augusta county, Va. In appearance
he was tall, slender, fine featured with dark hair and eyes. Was
genial, quiet and mild tempered and withal a devout Christian
gentleman. Was a member of the United Berthren Church.
Through the earnest entreaty of his son, William, in Oct., 1855, he
disposed of all his property and moved to Johnson county, Iowa,
by wagon, being seven weeks on the road. There he bought 1,500
acres of land and laid out the little village of Shueyville.

He donated the land in the next county of Linn, one mile
distant, on which to build Western College, To that institution
he gave much money. In recent years this school is known as the
Leander Clark College and is at Toledo, Iowa. He furnished
the ground and built the present United Brethren church at
Shueyville. To each of his children was given a fine education
and more than all the example of a good Christian home. Of
the land which he bought a share was given each child and suf-
ficient retained for his own needs. He died Oct. 30, 1867, aged
70 years, 4 months and 10 days.

Interment was made in the family lot in the cemetery, which
he had laid out.

His wife was a small, active woman of a humorous disposi-
tion. The latter trait being inherited by most of her children.
She was a noted cook, a fine housekeeper, having a great store
of beautiful bed and table linen.

Their home was known for its generous hospitality and good
cheer. Mrs. Shuey died at Western, July 12, 1875, and was
buried by the side of her husband at Shueyville.

1. William Henry Shuey (4), eldest son of Jacob and Eliza-
beth Shuey, was born in Augusta county, Virginia, Aug. 11,
1823. His father was an extensive farmer, and, like most of
farmers' sons in that day, the son labored on the farm through
the summer, and attended country schools through the winter.
He attended a classical school one year, and gave some attention
to the study of practical surveying, and did considerable business,
both in the East and West, as a surveyor. On the 20th of April,
1847, he married Catharine Virginia Baker, a daughter of Fred-
erick Baker, of Boonesboro, Washington county, Maryland.
They had six children, viz: Charles L., Frederic B., Ann E..
Amanda S., Ella V. and William H.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 245

In the days of the Virginia Militia, when "big musters" were
the days to which all others had to be subservient, Col. Shuey
took his part in home military duty. At the age of twenty-one
he was elected Captain of an armed uniformed company, known
as the Middlebrook Rifles, and at the age of twenty-seven was
elected Colonel of the 93d Regiment of Virginia Militia. He kept
in his possession the original commission signed by John B. Floyd,
then Governor of Virginia. All able-bodied men, from the age
of twenty-one to forty-five, were then compelled, by law, in that
State, to do military duty; and in the parades and drills of that
day he was frequently associated with men who afterwards be-
came noted in the Confederate service, such as Stonewall Jackson,
Imboden, Baldwin, and others.

In 1852, he became editor of the Northwestern Observer, a
Whig paper published at Buckhannon, West Virginia, and in 1854
removed to Johnson county, Iowa. In 1861 he entered the United
States Army, and served as Captain in Company F, 14th Regiment
Iowa Infantry. His regiment commenced active duties at the
battles of Donelson and Shiloh, and at the battle of Corinth, Mis-
sissippi, on the 3d and 4th of October, 1862, he was the senior
officer of his regiment. He was with his regiment in the Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee campaign, and in Bank's Red River Expe-
dition, in 1864, and for a year served on the staff of General A. J.
Smith, and won his respect as a brave and efficient officer. He
served his three years in the army, and was discharged in Novem-
ber, 1864.

From 1865 to 1868 he served as a member of the Board of
Supervisors of Johnson county, Iowa, and part of the time as
President of the Board. Col. Shuey was connected with the
Western College Advocate and Reporter, the most of the time
from 1856 to 1864, as one of the editors and with the Western
Gazette from its first numbers, in 1869, to 1872. He
was a member of the United Brethren Church. He was one of
the incorporators of Western College, Linn county, Iowa, where
he resided and much was due to his efforts and influence for the
location of the College, and he was ever one of its warmest friends.

having been admitted to the Bar after his removal to Iowa. He
had been postmaster at Western College, Iowa, since 1868. Died

VI. CHRISTIAN SHUEY (2)

Christian Shuey, the fifth son of Ludwig Shuey, was born

Oct. 10, 1760, in Bethel township, Lancaster county, Pa. He was

reared on the farm, and became a practical farmer. He married

Magdalena Edris, and had seven children, viz: John Henry (3),

262 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

George (3), Christian (3), Maria Catharine (3), John (3),
Elizabeth (3), and Magdalena (3). He had an excellent farm in
Bethel township, about half a mile south of Klopp's Church. It is
a beautiful farm, having an excellent spring of water adjacent to
the house. He was a member of the Reformed Church, and held
his membership in Klopp's Church, where he at different times
held office, and in 1798 and 1799 was one of the trustees of said
church. He lived in three different counties without changing
his residence. This may appear a little singular to the reader,
but it is nevertheless a fact. The explanation is that the county
changed names. He was born and grew up in Lancaster county.
He reared his family in Dauphin county, and he died in Lebanon
county. In 1785 the northern part of Lancaster county was
formed into a separate district, and received the name Dauphin
county. In 1814 the eastern portion of Dauphin county was
formed into a separate district, and was called Lebanon county.
During this whole time the name of the township was not
changed, but continued in the name of Bethel, to which many
references are made in this volume. During the same year in
which Lebanon county was organized, Christian died, and his
will is one of the first recorded in the new county, being in-
scribed on page 60, volume A. His will is dated June 12, 1814.
He disposed of his worldly possessions in the following manner:
to his wife Magdalena, he gave 300 pounds in gold or silver, and
all household and kitchen furniture ; the use of two rooms in the
house, and all privileges of the house, kitchen, cellar, garret and
springhouse, and she was to receive yearly six bushels of wheat,
six bushels of rye, 200 pounds of pork, 40 pounds of beef, 12
pounds of hackled flax, 10 pounds of tow, firewood, and
she shall have the right to take as many apples, potatoes,
hens' eggs, and cider as she wants. These supplies are
to be furnished her by her two sons, Christian Shuey and
John Shuey. To these two sons he gives to each one half
of 170 acres contained in four pieces of land, and to each
of these two the one half of his personal property. To Henry
he gives 800 pounds, but as he had loaned him 600 pounds, that
sum must be deducted. He is also to receive one sorrel colt. To
George, 765 pounds, ten bushels of wheat, and all that he had
received before. To Magdalena, 700 pounds, also a kitchen
dresser and table, a two-year-old bay colt, 10 bushels of wheat and
all that she had received before. All the money in the distribution
was to be paid out of bonds and money which he had. He named
his friend John Shuey as executor. He died Aug. 30, 1814,

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 263

age 53 years, 10 months and 20 days. Buried in the graveyard
at Klopp's Church. Christian had been an active participant in
the Revolutionary War, as is shown by the following certificate:

His wife, Magdalena, died Aug. 29, 1834, aged 69 years, 5
months and 20 days. She likewise made a will, which bears date
July 12, 1834, and is recorded in the Register's Office in Lebanon,
Pa., in book B, page 309. She gives to her granddaughter Anna
Shuey, daughter of son, Henry Shuey, dead, one hundred dollars
cash, one-fourth of the remainder to George Shuey, two-fourths
to Magdalena, wife of Philip Moyer, and one-fourth equally sub-
divided to her four grandchildren, children of Henry Shuey, viz :
Henry, Anna, Elizabeth and Catharine. Philip Moyer is named
as executor of the will. She is buried at Klopp's Church.

266 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

//. GEORGE SHUEY (3)

And for distinction's sake called Big George Shuey, was born
in the year 1790, in Bethel township, Dauphin county, Pa. He
married Anna Miller, and had eight children, viz : George, John
Henry, Maria M., Catharine, Christian, Elizabeth, Adam and
Solomon. He was not very successful as a business man in his
younger years, and therefore lost a good part of what he received
from his father. He never recovered from the effects of this loss,
and all during life he never accumulated more than to make a
living for himself and family. He bought a small property on
the south side of the Blue Mountain, in Union township, Lebanon
county, Pa., containing 9 acres and 126 perches, for 388 pounds
from Henry Shuck, dated April 2, 1817, Book A, Vol. 1, page
456, Lebanon county, Pa. Near this same place was the noted
"Smith's Fort" during the time of the Indian invasion, from 1750
to 1765. He was a soldier in the war of 1812-15, as shown by
the following certificate:

He had a pleasant little home, with clear, cool mountain water
running but a few steps from his door. The house was built of
rough mountain stone, very thick walls and only one story high.
All the buildings were torn down some years ago. George found
great pleasure in having children around him, and with cherished
feelings does the author remember some very pleasant days which
he spent there when a boy of about six years of age. In winter
time George would treat his little friend to some very fine chest-
nuts, and in summer time there was alwavs an abundance of
watermelons about, which he took great pains to cultivate. Then
again, he would entertain his young friend by relating stories of
the experience which he had with wild birds and savage beasts
on the mountains.

George spent most of his time on the mountains, being engaged
in hauling wood. Nearly all the timber on the south side of the
mountain was reduced to charcoal for use in the neighboring
forges and furnaces. George was engaged for many years in
hauling this wood together, preparatory to burning it and reduc-
ing it to charcoal. With his little sled and white horse, he would
move about on the mountain, and this white horse could be seen
for miles around by farmers who were plying their occupation
in tilling the soil. A few miles from the mountain it appeared
like a movable little speck, now visible and then obscured by
bushes.

George was a man of large proportions, well built and of tall
stature, hence his popular name, Big George Shuey. He had a
deep, heavy voice, and he used some singular expressions, which
afforded amusement to some. On Jan. 25, 1864, George made
a will, in which he bequeathed everything of his worldly goods
to his wife, Anna Shuey. He died Dec. 2, 1864, aged about 75
years. He lies buried at Walmer's Church. He was a member
of the Reformed Church.

1. George Shuey (4) was born June 26, 1817, in East Han-
over township, now Union, Lebanon county, Pa. He was bap-
tized Sept. 17, 1817, sponsor, John Shuey. He learned the black-
smith's trade, which he followed all his lifetime. He married

fighting he was captured at Gravelly Run, Virginia, March 31,
1865. He was discharged by General Order, June 8, 1865. On
the muster roll his name is given Shuye, and he writes his own
name the same way, but this is not a correct spelling and is not
found in any other record of any of the Shuey family. He was
a staunch Republican and says that he believes in voting with the
party he assisted in saving the Union. He married Serena Hitz,
of Lancaster City, and had two children, viz : George Moore
Shuey (6), who was born Aug. 18, 1871 ; and Katie Shuey (6),

pany with the American Expeditionary Forces in France, has writ-
ten letters to several friends which arrived to-day. He says he has
little time for letter writing, as they are too busy knocking the tar
out of the Germans. Lie says he was enjoying the best of health
at the time the letter was written, Oct. 20, 1918, but will not re-
gret any harm or suffering, even to the supreme sacrifice, if only
the effort ends in a victory and punishment of the Huns for their
atrocities and meanness.

"He writes that he has had some exceedingly narrow escapes
from bursting shells, as the artillery have frequent duels, but he
has been very lucky thus far. He has been on the firing line for
five months, and has seen sights and action that will furnish
material for many evenings of reminiscence when he returns.

280 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

1. Eliza Shuey (4) was born Nov. 9, 1820. She was mar-
ried to Levi Eberly, of Cumberland county, Pa., and had four
children, all sons, viz: William Harrison (5), David Henry (5),
Edward M. (5), and Ira S. (5). They resided in Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland county, Pa., and had plenty of means to enjoy a
comfortable living.

IV. MARIA CATHARINE SHUEY (3)
Was born June 20, 1795, in Bethel township, Dauphin county,
Pa., and was baptized Aug. 3, 1795. She died in infancy.

V. JOHN SHUEY (3)
Was born Nov. 27, 1796, and baptized Dec. 26, of the same year.
He was born and reared on his father's farm, near Kloop's Church
in Bethel township, Dauphin county, Pa. At 22 years of age he
was married to Catharine Fisher, of Hanover township, Lebanon
county, Pa., at Lebanon, by the Rev. William Heister, of the Re-
formed Church. John was a member of the Reformed Church.
He bought a farm in Hanover township from Mr. Zehring, and
invested his whole patrimony, probably amounting to five thousand
dollars. He did not manage very well on this farm, and in a very
few years was compelled to sell out and lost by his ill-managed
business everything he had received. This farm was later owned
by Jacob G. Walmer, and is situated near the Blue Mountains, and
close to the noted Smith's Fort. He then concluded to go west,
but he had barely enough money to pay the expenses of moving,
so that when he came to Wayne county, Ohio, in March, 1826, he
had but one hundred dollars, and this was a present from his
father-in-law, Mr. Fisher. He bought a tract of woodland con-
taining eighty acres situated about eight miles north of Wooster.
He now set to clearing it, and managed in the eleven years he
lived there to clear about fifty-five acres of this woodland. In
1837 he sold this farm for fourteen hundred dollars, and moved
to Elkhart county, Indiana. Here he again commenced farming,
and continued for thirteen vears at this place. In 1850 he caught
the California gold fever, and started to cross the plains, en rout
for the gold coast. He never accomplished his object, having
died on his way somewhere near Fort Laramie ; but the correct
circumstances relative to his death have never become known to
his family. In settling up his effects, his estate, at the time of
his death, was found to be about two thousand dollars. He had
seven children, viz : Sarah, Catharine, Michael F., John H.,
Elizabeth, Mary M., and Susannah. His widow lived with her

son Michael, in Elkhart, Indiana. Although John never accumu-
lated wealth, he nevertheless was always very industrious, after
his first failure in Lebanon county, Pa., and made a comfortable
living for his family. He was respected by his neighbors and was
very devoted to his family.

sequently while engaged on the farm he devoted all his spare

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 283

time to reading law under the instruction of Miles S. Henry.
In 1852 he was admitted as an attorney-at-law, to practice at the
Bar of the Supreme Court of Illinois. Hon. Lyman Trumbull
signed his license, he being then on the Supreme Bench. In
1853 he moved to Elkhart, Indiana, where he was engaged in his
profession of law. He was a strong Republican in politics, and in
1860 made speeches in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
in favor of the election of Abraham Lincoln, with whom he was
personally acquainted. This gave him considerable prominence,
and in 1865 he was elected to represent his district in the State
Legislature, and was re-elected in 1867; both times his party hon-
ored him with a nomination by acclamation. In the election his
majority was considerably above the other candidates of his party,
thus giving proof that he was a popular man and had the confi-
dence of the people.

His course in the Legislature was such that even his political
opponents could find no fault with him. He had the pleasure
of casting his vote to ratify the fifteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States. He also particularly interested
himself in the establishment of a House of Correction for juvenile
offenders and an institution for the care of the incurable insane,
a fire-proof building for the State offices and archives, a sepa-
rate prison for females, and several other bills, all of which he
had the pleasure of seeing permanently established during his
term of office. He held no public offices after 1870, and inas-
much as he found his law office more profitable and lucrative,
and his own home more agreeable than the scramble for public
office, he did not wish any further public favors in that direction.
He had not accunrulated any great riches, but had plenty of the
world's goods to enjoy a very comfortable living. He was sur-
rounded by a very fine family of children, there being seven of
them, viz : John W., Mary A., Charles F., Cora, George E., Emma
K., and Edwin Stanton. He was a popular man in Elkhart and
had a large circle of friends.

In 1886 the Michael F. Shuey family moved to MacClenny,
Florida, where Mr. Shuey purchased a section of land, built a
residence, and then resumed the practice of law, in partnership
with his son, Chas. F. Shuey. In the early fall of 1888, yellow
fever broke out in that section of Florida, and Michael F. Shuey
was one of the early victims who lost his life. Mrs. Shuey also
died of this disease.

1. John William Shuey (5) was born Aug. 18, 1850. He
married Katherine Mann, Feb. 2, 1870. He was engaged in the

Florida. For some time he had an office in Chicago, and now
follows his profession in New York City. He is married and
his daughter, Mary Cosette Shuey (6), was married to Mr. Rey-
nolds, a bank clerk in Chicago. They now live in Wendell, Idaho,

engaged in the hardware business. In the spring of 1889, the
year after the yellow fever epidemic, they returned to Elkhart,

it as editor, until he accepted an offer as editor-in-chief of the
Gainsville, Florida, Advocate, a Republican daily, which com-
pelled him to move to Gainsville, Florida. In 1891, a stock com-
pany inaugurated a new Republican paper in Florida (the Florida

The author addressed the family several times for the dates
of birth and other facts which would be interesting to insert ;
but for some reason or other they neglected to furnish the answers
to the author's questions to them. This is to be regretted, as it
makes the book incomplete, and breaks in upon the original idea
of the book, viz : that it shall be an authentic record of the Shuey
family in America.

The author could not get into communication with this family
for the Revised History.

II. JOHN SHUEY (1)

John Shuey, the second son of Daniel Shuey, was born pre-
sumably in the year 1728, and grew up as a farmer. When he
became of age he entered in the Land Department in Harrisburg,
for 150 acres of land on Jan. 4, 1749. The patent deed for this
land is dated Jan. 5, 1764. It is in Hanover township, Dauphin
county. His wife's name was Catharine, for John Shuey and
wife Catharine were sponsors at the baptism of John Shuey, son

290 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

of Ludwig Shuey, in 1753. He was one of those who desired
that his sister Elizabeth should have the fifty pounds, condition-
ally designated to her in Daniel Shuey's will, and signed the bond
of indemnity to Martin Shuey the elder and Martin Shuey the
younger, executors of the will of Daniel Shuey.

John Shuey's will, dated Jan. 22, 1808, probated April 23, 1816,
stands recorded in Book D, page 101, in the Register's Office at
Harrisburg. At the time of making the will he lived with his son
Daniel Shuey, in West Hanover township, Dauphin county, Pa.
Daniel was to have the homestead and pay out as follows : To
daughter Catharine (2), 97 pounds, 16 shillings; to son Martin
Shuey (2), 107 pounds, 15 shillings; to daughter Margaret (2),
102 pounds, 2 shillings; to son Conrad (2), 90 pounds, 15 shil-
lings; to son Bennevel's (2) children — to son, 60 pounds; to
daughter, 40 pounds, when they arrive at age; to daughter Bar-
bara (2), 127 pounds; to son Frederich's (2) children, equal
shares of 167 pounds, 10 shillings; to son Michael (2), 36
pounds; to son Jacob (2), 142 pounds, 19 shillings and 1 penny.
Son Daniel Shuey (2) and friend David Ferguson, Esq., were
appointed Executors. According to this will he had seven sons
and three daughters. As his wife Catharine is not mentioned in
this will it is presumed she had died. The death of John Shuey
was shortly before April 23, 1816, when his will was probated.

The author was unable to trace the history of the children of
John Shuey, except Daniel, Conrad, Frederich, Michael and Jacob.
Daniel was likely the ancestor of those living in Schuylkill county,
Pa., Conrad of those living near Greensburg, Westmoreland
county, and Jacob of those residing in Dauphin county, Pa.

/. DANIEL SHUEY (2)

Daniel Shuey (2), who is supposed to have been the eldest
son of John Shuey and grandson of Daniel Shuey, the original,
was born in Lancaster county, afterwards Dauphin county, about
the year 1756. He had bequeathed to him by his father the home
farm by paying to the other heirs the proportions named in his
father's will, and he was appointed the executor of the will.
The author is of the opinion that he later moved across the moun-
tains into Schuylkill county, where he invested in real estate.

His wife's name was probably Anna Maria, formerly Berger.
They raised a large family. The sons were John Shuey, Daniel
Shuey, Peter Shuey, Michael Shuey, Joseph Shuey, Henry Shuey,
and Benjamin Shuey. Some of these sons moved to Center

III. MARTIN SHUEY (1)

Martin Shuey was the third son of Daniel Shuey. He
was one of the executors named in Daniel Shuey's will. He
lived in Bethel township, Berks county, Pa., where he owned a
farm of 236 acres, which he purchased from his father, Daniel
Shuey. Deed Book A, Vol. 2, page 118, in the Reading office.
It bears date Dec. 1, 1762. He also owned other lands and was
a farmer. Martin Shuey's will is recorded in Vol. 4, page 62, in
the Reading office, and bears date March 7, 1795 ; probated Nov.
25, 1801. He bequeathed to his wife Margaret a tract of land of
seven acres and twenty perches, for life or while she remains
his widow. The transition from the hearth to the stove was
taking place about this time. Also the wife was not supposed
to own anything except what the husband bequeathed her, as
appears in this will. He bequeaths to his wife, bed and bed-
stead, one cow, "my pipe stove," table, house clock, chest, "her
clothes and her side saddle,." and as much household goods and
furniture as she stands in need of while she remains his widow
If she marries she shall immediately release the same by quit
claim, both land and movable goods. To John (2), his eldest
son, he gives five pounds over and above his equal share for his
first birthright. To John (2), Catharine (2), the wife of Philip
Mover, Anna Maria (2), the wife of Henry Holtzman, Barbara
(2), wife of John Nicholas Seerer, Margaret (2), wife of John
Moyer, five hundred pounds to be equally divided. The balance
equally to the said children with one share to the grandchildren:
Elizabeth (3), John (3), and Jacob Seerer (3), children of his
daughter Magdalena. George Seerer, his son-in-law, was to re-
tain the one hundred pounds which he received from him (Martin
Shuey), and no more. Martin Shuey, of Dauphin county, was
named as executor. Samuel Royer and Christian Walborn sub-
scribed as witnesses.

From the Administrators' Book, Vol. 6, page 313, it appears
that Martin Shuey had moved away and therefore renounced
his right as executor. The Register of Wills therefore appointed
John Shuey, son of Martin Shuey, administrator Dec. 1, 1806.

Some explanation for the restrictions in Martin Shuey's will
as to his wife Margaret Shuey might be ascertained. The author

312 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

is of the opinion that Margaret was his second wife, and not the
mother of his children mentioned in his will, hut perhaps the
mother of his son-in-law Philip Moyer and others, as might be
discovered from the will of Margaret Shuey, widow, dated May
30, 1806, Vol. 4, page 361. Here she bequeaths "to the children
of my deceased son, Henry Moyer, one dollar, to be in full.
To granddaughter, Elizabeth Moyer, a child of my deceased son,
Philip Moyer, one dollar in full. To my eleven children, viz:
Christian Moyer, John Moyer, Jacob Moyer, Michael Moyer,
Peter Moyer, Rudolph Moyer, and Abraham Moyer, and to my
daughters, Anna, wife of Jacob Lesh; Elizabeth, wife of Michael
Frantz ; Barbara, wife of Jacob Kline, and Margaret, wife of
Rudolph Hunsicker, to be equally divided between them." God-
fried Rehrer, of Bethel, to be executor. Witnesses, Martin Wal-
born and Andrew Graff. Probated Aug. 4, 1806.

In the Commission Book P, Vol. 1, page 79, Berks county,
Martin Shuey grants a water right to Jacob Rohrer for ten
pounds consideration. In the Index of said record this is the first
indexed under the letter S. Dated Jan. 17, 1784.

Some of these Shueys must have been land speculators, for on
May 22, 1790, Philip Kunselman, Jr., of Pinegrove township,
Berks county, sold a tract of land containing 208 acres to Lud-
wich Shuey, Martin Shuey, and Christian Shuey, of Bethel
township, Berks county, for which Kunselman was to receive
eighty pounds, "good hard money, gold or silver of Pennsyl-
vania." On May 23, 1794, Ludwig Shuey, Martin Shuey, and
Christian Shuey, of Bethel township, Dauphin county, sold this
208 acres tn.ct, situated in Pinegrove township, to John Shuger,
Jr., for 120 pounds. It joined lands of Martin Shuey.

Then on Dec. 4, 1816. the widow and heirs of John Shuger,
deceased, signed a release for 80 pounds, received from John
Shuey, Bethel township, son of the within named Martin Shuey,
"in full satisfaction for all damage sustained by widow and chil-
dren of John Shucker, on account of older right and title of heirs
of Samuel Jones, deceased, and these now release Ludwig Shuey,
Martin Shuey and Christian Shuey, and their heirs all claims
from the beginning of the world to the date of these presents."
This release surely goes back far enough in time to satisfy all
parties in this transaction.

/. JOHN SHUEY (2)

John Shuey, born Sept. 18, 1760, was the only son of
Martin Shuey. He lived in Bethel township, Berks county, not

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 313

far from Millersburg, and was a faithful member of the Re-
formed Church, at that place. A deed dated Dec. 24, 1812, from
Godfrey Rehrer and his wife Eve, transfers to "John Shuey and
Leonard Miller, Jr., both of the same place, Gentlemen, Trus-
tees and Wardens duly nominated and appointed, to and for the
only use and purpose and behalf of the Protestant German Church
or Congregation, called by the name REFORMED CHURCH,
in Bethel township, in the county of Berks, and in the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania, containing 2 acres, 76 perches strict
measure. Consideration $1.00 forever for the use of said con-
gregation." Recorded Jan. 6, 1813. Also a deed from George
Schneider and Catharine, his wife, dated Dec. 24, 1812, to John
Shuey and Leonard Miller, Jr., (here uses the same language
as in the former deed), containing one acre and 4 perches strict
measure to the REFORMED CHURCH as above. Considera-
tion, $40.00. Recorded Jan. 6, 1813. A public proclamation was
made by John Shuey and Leonard Miller, Jr., dated Jan. 6, 1813,
Vol. 25, paj,e f5.*, declaring that they held the above mentioned
two tracts as "Trustees for Said Protestant German Church or
Congregation" in Bethel township, Berks county, Pa., and that
they laid no further claim to such land. The author is of the
opinion that the above is now known as Salem Church at Millers-
burg, Berks county, Pa.

John Shuey 's will is recorded Vol. 7, page 310. Bears date
Feb. 26, 1835. Probated Oct. 3, 1835. His wife's name was
Catharine. He had a farm and three pieces of land in Bethel
township, and a house and two lots in Millersburg. He wills
his whole property to his wife for her use during her lifetime.
He is more liberal than his father was in his will, for John gives
all his property to his beloved wife, Catharine, "to do therewith
at her pleasure during her natural life, and spend, and do with
the personal estate whatsoever she thinks proper." After her
death all the property was to go to John Holtzman, son of Peter
Holtzman, Sr. From this we infer that John Shuey had no
children, consequently the name Shuey in this family became
extinct with his death. He died Sept. 13, 1835. Buried at
Millersburg, Pa.

//. CATHARINE ELIZABETH SHUEY (2)
Catharine Elizabeth Shuey (2), daughter of Martin Shuey,
was born June 3, 1762. She was married to Philip Moyer. She
died April 15, 1842, aged 79 years, 10 months and 11 days. Her
husband, Philip Moyer, was born March 6, 1757, and died March
6, 1819, aged 62 years.

314 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

The authoi ascertained no further information concerning
the other daughters of Martin Shuey.

IV. PETER SHUEY (1)

Peter Shuey was the fourth son of Daniel Shuey. In the
will of his father it reads, "I give and bequeath unto my son
Peter Shuey one shilling lawful money, over and above of what
he hath received of me already and no more, which said shilling
my executors shall pay unto him after my death, he having before
in my lifetime received his share from me." Further on in the
will it says, "I will yet remember the heirs of my said son, Peter
Shuey, and I now bequeath unto them the sum of one hundred
pounds lawful money, which my Executors shall pay them, when
they shall have arrived at their full ages, but not sooner. No
Body shall make any Pretentions, save his bodily Issues or Chil-
dren, as many as there are." According to Deed Book A, Vol.
2, page 236, dated June 8, 1760, Peter Shuey bought a farm con-
taining 185 acres from George Derr and his wife Maria Eliza-
beth, of Heidelberg township, Berks county, Pa., for the consider-
ation of 500 pounds. This tract was a part of the Manor of
Plumton, containing 1165 acres which "John Penn, Thomas Penn
and Richard Penn, Esqrs., true and absolute Proprietaries and
Governors of the Province of Pennsylvania, by Patent under the
great Seal of the Province," bearing date Sept. 17, 1735, and re-
corded in Philadelphia, in Patent Book A, Vol. 7, page 264. The
above tract of 185 acres was sold to George Derr and his heirs
forever, for the consideration mentioned therein with this ad-
ditional clause, "and the Quit rent of one Red Rose yearly."
When George Derr sold this land to Peter Shuey the same con-
dition is mentioned, "under and subject to the Quit rent of one
Red Rose yearly." This peculiar consideration is worth men-
tioning in this family history as a fact of record, and the only
one found in all our researches.

The very first deed placed on record in the county of Berks,
describes a farm which joins this Manor of Plumton above re-
ferred to. See Vol. 1, page 1. This same land above mentioned,
Peter Shuey and his wife Magdalena mortgaged to Wendel
Weber for 150 pounds, dated Aug. 1, 1769. This mortgage was
released May 14, 1771.

The author has no positive information as to what became of
Peter Shuey and his children, and whether those children were

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 315

sons or daughters. It may be that he sold the above described
farm and moved to York county, Pa. The author found a
record in the court house in Gettysburg, Adams county, Pa., in
which the Hon. John Penn and Richard Penn, Esqrs., by their
Attorney, Edmund Physick, Esq., conveyed a tract of land to
Peter Shuey, dated March 31, 1798, described more fully as fol-
lows : "Between the Hon. John Penn, of Stoge Poges, in the
county of Bucks, in the Kingdom- of Great Britain, Esq., one
of the late proprietaries of Pennsylvania, and of the lower coun-
ties of New Castle, Kent and Sussex, now the Delaware State,
and the Honorable Richard Penn, of Queen Ann Street, west,
in the county of Middlesex in the Kingdom of Great Britain,
aforesaid, Esq., brother of the late John Penn, by Edmund
Physick, of the City of Philadelphia, Esq., their Attorney Con-
stituted by Letter of Attorney, dated March 14, 1796. See Book
No. 5, page 332, Rolls office for Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia,
of the one part and Peter Shuey, of Mount Joy township, in the
county of York, in Pennsylvania, Yeoman, of the other part."
This tract is a part of the Manor of Maske. An agreement had
been made between said above named parties, dated Feb. 4, 1797.
Also states that the settlers have obtained an Act of the General
Assembly of Pennsylvania, whereby all claims of the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania, to the said Manor of Maske, were re-
leased as by the said Act entitled, "An Act to Release all Claims
on the part of the Commonwealth to certain Lands within the
Manor or reputed Manor of Maske in the county of York,
passed the 23d day of March, 1797." "And Whereas the said
Peter Shuey has represented and alleged that he is in possession
and is the rightful owner of the tract or piece of land hereinafter
described and intended to be granted by these presents and hav-
ing complied with the terms of purchase agreed on in the above
recited contract hath requested a conveyance to be made to him
for the same agreeably to the above recited agreement. Now this
Indenture Witnesseth that for and in consideration of forty
pounds, twelve shillings and six pence Current money of Penn-
sylvania in specie, thirteen pounds and six pence part thereof
being a Balance due for purchase money and the remainder for
Interest Computed to this day." Then follows a long descrip-
tion. Containing 277 Acres and 96 Perches, and the usual al-
lowance of six per cent, for Roads and Highways. Adams
county was at that time a part of York county, and in 1800 was
formed into Adams county. On Feb. 27, 1804, Peter Shuey, of
Cumberland township, and Magdalena, his wife, made a deed

316 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

to Samuel Eichelberger, Book B, page 263, for a consideration
of 2,077 pounds and 10 shillings. It is described as lying in Mt.
Joy township and Cumberland township, being a part of the
Manor of Maske, 277 acres and 96 Perches and the usual allow-
ance of six per cent. This deed proves that this Peter Shuey is
the same that resided in Berks county, formerly, for in both
cases the wife's name is Magdalena.

V. ANNA MARGARET SHUEY (1)

Anna Margaret Shuey (1) was likely the oldest daughter of
Daniel Shuey. In the Pennsylvania Archives, Second Edition,
Volume 17, on page 50, is a copy of the original names of the
persons who came in the Ship with Daniel Shuey. In the first
column are the names of Maria Schwe and Margaretta Schwe,
while in the second column are the names of Daniel Schwe and
Lodawick Schwe. This was the Shuey family giving the names
with the French pronunciation. Anna Margaret Shuey was
married to Nicholas Pontius, whose name appears on the tax
list for 1754, in Bethel township, Berks county, Pa. Their home
was therefore close to that of Daniel Shuey.

VI. BARBARA SHUEY (1)

A daughter of Daniel Shuey, was born in Bethel township,
Lancaster county, Pa. In the Swatara Church book the date of
her birth is given June 26, 1741. Her sponsors were George and
Barbara Moyer. She was married to George Feeser and lived
in Bethel township. Her father, Daniel Shuey, sold a tract of
land containing 268^4 acres with the usual allowance of six per
cent, to George Feeser, for a consideration of 2,200 pounds,
which would be $11,000.00, which proves that it was valuable
land. Sixty acres of this, however, is not transferred, because
this was granted previously to Ludwich Shuey. This land was
bounded by lands of Michael Albrecht, John Gunckel, Philip
Houts, Christian Brechtbill, Thomas Sowers and other land of
the said Daniel Shuey. This deed bears date May 1, 1777. See
Vol. R, page 362. As this deed was made but seven days before
Daniel Shuey made his will, and as Mrs. Feeser was a daughter
of Daniel Shuey, the author is of the opinion that Daniel divided
his property before making his will. This would account for

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 317

the fact also why most of Daniel Shuey's children were to re-
ceive one shilling, according to his will. Daniel Shuey had
bought this farm of 268^4 acres, Nov. 12, 1753. The author
saw this original deed, which was in the possession of Joseph
Hunsicker, with other ancient documents, when he gathered the
material for the first edition of the Shuey History.

VII. CATHARINE ELIZABETH SHUEY(l)

A daughter of Daniel Shuey, was born June 8, 1747. Her
sponsors at baptism were Peter and Maria Catharine Shell. This
record is found in the Swatara Church book. She was married
to Jacob Giger, and lived in Warwick township, Lancaster
county, Pa.

VIII. ELIZABETH SHUEY (1)

A daughter of Daniel Shuey, was married to Henry Moser
and had one son, viz : Christian Moser. Reference is made to this
in Daniel Shuey's will, which is inserted in another part of this
book, where her father bequeaths her fifty pounds if she should
become a widow or in need. The son also is to have fifty pounds
according to the will. We have no further account of Mrs.
Moser until 1784, where we find her name again, but now as the
wife of Adam Paul, of Gedockten township, Frederick county,
Maryland. This is gleaned from a record in Deed Book B, Vol.
I, page 320, in the Recorder's Office in Harrisburg. The record
is a bond of indemnity given by the heirs of Daniel Shuey to the
executors of the last will of Daniel Shuey, so as to allow them
to pay to Mrs. Paul the fifty pounds which were conditionally
designated to her use in the will. The record is a relic of an-
tiquity, strangely composed and curiously expressed, a paper
which does not reflect so much on the heirs of Daniel Shuey as
it does on the "squire" who drew up the paper. When the author
first found the record it amused him considerably, and thinking
it might be interesting to the reader, it is here inserted in full
with all the flaws of orthography and composition.

Know all men by these presents that wee Henry Shuy Eldest son of
Ludwik Shuy and John Shuy Both of Hanover Township in Lancaster
County, George Feeser in Bethel Township and County aforesaid Jacob

These names are all written in German, except those of Baker
and Pontius. Schroy's first name could not be deciphered.
This writing shows that the heirs of Daniel Shuey were well
disposed toward Elizabeth, and were desirous that she should
have the portion of fifty pounds, although she was not at the time
a widow, nor needy, because the last part makes reference to it,
that if she should come in need or want they, the heirs, promise
to give satisfaction to the executors if she should molest them
in any way.

At some places words are omitted altogether, as the word
thousand at the close. At other places capital letters are used
improperly, and many other errors occur, which taken as a whole
makes it an interesting paper to put on record.

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 319

IX. DANIEL SHUEY (1)

Daniel Shuey, a son of Daniel Shuey, is mentioned in his
father's will, wherein it is decreed that son Daniel is to have "one
shilling lawful money to be paid to him by my executors after,
my death, and he shall demand no more of my estate, because
he has received much in my life time of me." What became of
Daniel is not positively known, but there is a family of Shueys
living in Carroll county, Maryland, whose ancestor's name was
Daniel. The date corresponds to the Daniel of this history,
and the members of the family claim that their ancestor came
from Lancaster, or what is now Lebanon county, Pa. The facts
of Daniel Shuey's family as they have been fragmentarily fur-
nished by some members of the family, and partly from official
records, are here given.

Daniel Shuey was also in military service, as is shown by
the following official record : Daniel Shuey was a Private in
Captain Peter Ford's Company, York township, York county
Militia, War of the Revolution. See page 448, Volume 2, Penn-
sylvania Archives, Sixth Series.

Also — Corporal in the Eleventh Pennsylvania Regiment, Con-
tinental line. "List of Non-Commissioned Officers and Privates."
See page 627, Volume Three, Pennsylvania Archives, Fifth
Series.

Also — Corporal, Eleventh Pennsylvania Regiment. "List of
Soldiers who received Depreciation Pay for services in the War
of the Revolution." See page 181, Volume 4, Pennsylvania
Archives, Fifth Series.

According to this record it would appear that he resided in
York county, Pa., before moving into Carroll county, Maryland.

Daniel Shuey was married to Rosanna Sample, and had seven
or eight children. He was an extensive farmer, and lived in
Frederick county, Maryland, and afterwards in Carroll county,
after that county was organized. The date of his birth and death
have not been ascertained, but it is likely that he was buried in
the graveyard near New Windsor, Maryland.

We gather some additional information from the will of
Daniel's wife, Rosanna Shoey, as the name is written in the record
in the court house in Westminster, Carroll county, Maryland.
The will bears date Dec. 11, 1830, but was not proven until April
22, 1839. Oath was made by George Yandis, as a witness to the
will. It is recorded in J. B., Folio No. 1, page 87. The estate
is to be equally divided between six children, except 138 dollars,
which son Henry Shoey is to have extra, which she laid aside

320 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

for him, because the others received that much before. Of the
residue, one-sixth shall be given to daughter Mary Cook, widow
of Mathias Cook, deceased ; one-sixth to daughter Barbara
Greenwood, wife of John Greenwood ; one-sixth to daughter
Elizabeth Hinning, widow of Thomas Hinning, deceased ; one-
sixth to Catharine Greenwood, wife of Ludwich Greenwood,
and one-sixth to Daniel Shoey. It is stated in the will that John
Shoey received his full part before, and, therefore, he is not to
have any portion. David is not mentioned in the will, though
he was a son of Daniel Shuey. The two Greenwood families
lived in Carroll county, Maryland. They have quite a number
of descendants living near New Windsor, and are engaged in
agricultural pursuits. Henning's family lived in Baltimore. In
the will the name is written Hinning.

had three children: 1. William T. Henning (5). 2. Edith Hen-
ning (5). 3. Zelia Henning (5).

5. Rosanna Henning (3) was married to Harry Vauner.
They had no children.

All the daughters of Daniel Shuey lived and died in Mary-
land. Of the sons we have but few facts. Henry was a tanner
and farmer, and lived in Indiana, where he died. We have no
information of his descendants. Daniel was a brick and stone
mason, and for some time a shoemaker. He lived and died in
Ohio. David also lived in Ohio, where he died.

//. JOHN SHUEY (2)
Was born in 1778. He married Catharine Sweigart, of Lan-
caster county, Pennsylvania. They had four sons, viz : David,
Lewis, Daniel, and John. He lived in Carroll county, Maryland.
He was an extensive farmer, and was in possession of consider-
able property. In his younger days he was captain of a militia
company. He served as captain in the war of 1812. In some
respects he was a very peculiar man. He was fond of traveling ;
several times he went to Ohio in a light carriage, and stayed for
nearly a year. When he took a notion to go West he gave hardly
an intimation to any one, and started off with but little prepara-
tion ; his neighbors not knowing it until he had gone, and his
own family had but a few days notice. His family was left to
take charge of the farm in his absence. He requested that no
tombstone should be placed at his grave. He died in 1858, near
New Windsor, Carroll county, Maryland.

in Carroll county, Maryland. He had several farms, one of
which contained about 300 acres. After the close of the Civil
War he sold his large farm and moved to Waterford, Loudoun
county, Virginia, with a view of living retired. There this aged
couple lived peacefully, having had a son and a granddaughter
to keep them company and to take care of them in their old days.
They were very nice old people, and had seen hard work in their

12 days.

All the members and descendants of Lewis Shuey write their
names with two e's, thus, Shueey. They, however, cannot ac-
count for the change, and acknowledge that Shuey is correct.

///. DANIEL SHUEY (3)

The third son of John Shuey, was born March 16, 1803. His
early life was spent on his father's farm, and he chose farming
as his occupation for life. He married a daughter of Paul
Maurer, of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. They lived in Car-
roll county, Maryland, until May, 1831, when they moved to
Muskingum county. Ohio, where he bought a farm on which
they lived until he retired from farming, and they moved to
Alexandria, Licking county, Ohio, where he died. He was suc-
cessful as a business man and had plenty of means to enjoy life
in his declining years. They had sons and daughters, but not
all the names could be ascertained. Those known are Samuel
Paul, Daniel, Lewis and John (commonly called Jack), Kate and

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 325

Harriet. In his letter to the author, before the first History of
the Shuey Family was published, he stated that all his brothers
and sisters were dead. But it will be noticed that his brother
Lewis then resided at Waterford, Virginia. The families had
not been in correspondence for a number of years, and as he
had not heard from the other; he concluded they were deal. In
the author's answer to his letter he was informed of his brother
Lewis and his place of residence.

1. Samuel Paul Shuee (4), (he always insisted on writing
his name Shuee), was born about the year 1820, in Carroll county,
Maryland. He likely came to Ohio before his father moved there.
He married Katharine Ayers of Ohio. They had seven children :
George W., Sarah Jane, Mary Anne, Samuel Paul, James Leslie,
and Celia, also another daughter, whose children reside in
Chicago. They had moved to Missouri, where Samuel Paul
Shuee was a patriot of his country. At the beginning of the Civil
War, he paid the great price for his loyalty, by being shot during
a raid and his house burned to the ground with all it contained.
Soon thereafter his three sons enlisted in the U. S. service.

1. George Washington Shuee (5) was born in Ohio, Sept.
7, 1840. He married Eliza Jane Powell, at Stockton, Missouri,
April 18, 1861. They have five children: William Samuel, George
Washington, Daniel Marion, Henry Clay, and Daisy Lillian. He
served on scout duty, before enlisting at Pleasant Hill, Kansas,
Feb. 3, 1864, as a Private in Captain Charles F. Coleman's Com-
pany D., Ninth Regiment, Kansas Volunteer Cavalry. Promoted
to corporal of new Company D., March 22, 1865. He received
honorable discharge at Duvall's Bluff, on July 17, 1865. He is
a member of Hugh Wilson Post, No. 21, G. A. R., and now re-
sides at Caldwell, Idaho.

1. William Samuel Shuee (6) was born Aug. 2, 1862. He
married Louise Snyder in 1886. Children: Eliza Shuee (7) and

Bess Shuee (7). His second marriage was to Cora Belle ,

in 1895. Children:

3. Herman Shuee (7) was born Nov. 21, 1896. He is a
member of the Idaho National Guard.

4. Cora Belle Shuee (7) was born March 2, 1900.

5. Leona Shuee (7) was born Aug. 9, 1903.

He married Rose Fortney in 1884. Children: 1. Charles Robert
Shuee (7), of Ellensburg, Washington. 2. James Shuee (7). 3.
Pearl Shuee Floyd (7), and George Washington Shuee (7).

IV. JOHN SHUEY (3)

The youngest son of John Shuey, was born Sept. 30, 1804.
He married and moved to Missouri, where he engaged in farm-
ing. He has a number of descendants, but the author could not
get into correspondence with them. They live in Franklin
county, Missouri, in the neighborhood of Oakfield, Union or
Franklin.

CONCLUDING CHAPTER

A personal sketch of the different members of the Shuey
family is given in the preceding pages ; but it would seem neces-
sary to make some additional remarks, in order to close this
volume with some satisfaction to the reader. There are some
things which can be mentioned in common, regarding the Shueys
as a family. Individuals have certain peculiarities, which leave
their almost indelible imprint on their characters. This is true
likewise of States, countries, and nations, and if true of all these,
we can look for certain characteristics in a family. On account
of the separation of the family, and the length of time it has
been separated, it would, perhaps, be more proper to give this
part of the history in sections, indicated by the different locali-
ties where they now reside. But that in itself would give suffi-
cient material to write a volume which would be both interesting
and useful. What is here written is given in a very general way,
which may not always apply to all the persons represented in
this book. The idea of these additional pages is at once mani-
fest to the reader who has carefully perused the personal sketches.
We give the peculiarities under certain heads.

NAMES

In several branches of this family the names of Adam and
Eve, as husband and wife, can be traced ; and owing to this fact
many, no doubt, can boast that they are more closely related to
Adam and Eve than persons of other families. This relationship
is claimed in all earnestness and with legal propriety ; but at the
same time let it be understood that no reference is had here to
the garden of Eden and the forbidden fruit. This family is not
willing, on account of these names, to take upon itself a greater
portion of the sin and disobedience of our first parents when
they made that fatal choice between right and wrong, obedience
and disobedience.

It is a noticeable fact, likewise, that family names have been
well preserved. The same names we find repeated again and
again, from one generation to the other. By merely referring
to the names of a few families, the reader will readily ascertain
this fact. Then examine the Index to this book and notice the
many similar names. John is a popular name, and if it were not
for an additional name, or a nickname, it would be almost im-

328 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

possible to distinguish all the members of the Shuey family who
bear that name. Hardly a family can be found where the name
John is not represented.

There are other names which appear quite often on these
pages which cannot here be enumerated. On the old homestead
many apple trees in the orchard and shell-bark trees in the adjoin-
ing fields were named after certain members of the family. These
names were used to such an extent that whenever reference was
made to any of those trees it was always done by using their
proper names. One might hear them speak of grandfather's
tree, or grandmother's tree, or other trees which were named
after uncles or aunts, father or mother, or even back to great-
grandfather. One tree bearing sour apples was named after
one of the horses many years ago, and the tree has been known as
"Billy tree" to this day. It is said that a favorite horse called
Billy was sick, and the horse-doctor who sought cures by pow-
wowing made use of this tree in connection with his magical
art by boring a hole in this tree and driving a plug into the hole,
whereupon it is said the horse was restored to health ; hence the
origin of the name.

MORALITY

To speak in a general way of the Shuey family in America,
we can without any hesitancy say, that there are no very bad per-
sons in this family. True, of such an extensive family, we
would not presume to say that they are all first-class people, and
that crime, wickedness and immorality are not found among them.
Not one member of this large family has ever been imprisoned,
or compelled to appear before the bar of justice to plead his
innocence of any crime with which he had been charged. They
believe in moral reform rather than legal reform, and they seek
to keep clear of the law by not allowing any occasion which might
necessitate a resort to law.

It is substantially a moral family, and many of its members
who make no profession of faith, nor have any connection with a
Christian Church, are nevertheless strictly moral. The number
of non-church-goers and anti-churchmen is very limited in this
family. Drunkenness and debauchery are an exception, if found
at all, and intemperance is scorned by all. A certain member of
the Virginia family, in speaking on this point, says in a letter to the
author, "No one ever saw a dissipated Shuey, or one intoxicated,
which is an honor to our name in Virginia." Similar expressions
came from Ohio and California. This cannot be strictly affirmed

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 329

of the Pennsylvania Shueys, though in general it is true ; but
there are a few exceptional cases, where certain members have
allowed themselves to come under the influence of liquor, and
have thus violated the strict principle of the Shuey family as a
whole.

In their financial transactions they are strictly honest, scorn-
ing to do a mean act ; and whatever promises are made by them
in a business way are sure to be fulfilled, and all financial obli-
gations are promptly met. "Honesty is the best policy" has been
their motto of old, and they have endeavored to carry it out to its
fullest extent, not for the sake of policy, but on account of that
higher idea contained in the word honesty. Honesty itself is
the incentive, and for its sake alone is it practiced. Some have
always been poor in this world's goods, or probably were in in-
digent circumstances ; but they have regarded a good name better
than riches, and have preferred poverty to rascality. It is al-
ways much safer to bear, and to be worthy of, a good name, than
to have great riches, which may be ill-gotten gains and perhaps
were obtained by making others poor. Generosity is one thing
especially for which this family is noted. A hungry wayfaring
man is never turned away from their door, without an abund-
ance to eat. The poor are always assisted where their claims
are made known. They endeavor to scrutinize, however, between
the worthy and the unworthy, and the worthy have never been
permitted to remain in want. Their sympathy can easily be en-
listed, and more than once has imposition been practiced by
scoundrels in an unguarded hour.

EDUCATION

It has ever been an established custom in this family to have
the children educated ; in earliest times even, as will be seen by
referring to Ludwich Shuey's will, recorded more than a cen-
tury ago, where mention is made that his children should be
educated. Nearly all the members of this family have rather
bright minds, and very ignorant persons are not known among
them. Many who have had the opportunity of mental culture,
have become prominent in the litereary world. Others who were
not so fortunate as to acquire an extended education, have never-
theless sufficient to make them prominent in their different
spheres of life ; and in many, yea very many cases, they are termed
the leaders of the people in the neighborhood in which they reside.
Many have had the benefit of a full classical course in college or
university, and are now in the ranks of the higher professions.

330 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

In this family can be found editors, school teachers, clerks, book
keepers, lawyers, doctors and ministers of the Gospel. Indeed,
all professions are well represented, and considerable original
research work in the sciences has been done by some. Wherever
professional men are found, they give dignity to the positions
which they fill. At least every one in the whole family is suffi-
ciently educated to have common sense, and to possess and prac-
tice proper manhood. Insanity or mental derangement is un-
known in this family. If there are any who are non compos
mentis, they have not come to the knowledge of the author of
these pages. In this respect this family is indeed exceptional
and worthy of particular notice.

THE OLD SCHOOL-HOUSE

Quite a number of our ancestors, and many whose personal
sketches are given in the preceding pages, received their primary
education in the "Old School House." This school-house is sit-
uated in Union township, Lebanon county, Pa., and only a few
steps from Walmer's Church. Before the system of free
schools was introduced in Pennsylvania, this school-house was
used for the purpose of a parochial school by the church. The
building was owned by the church, and contained both the school-
room and the sexton's house. At that early time, however, the
sexton had more duties to perform than he has now. The man
who lived in the same house where the school-room was, occu-
pied at the same time the positions of teacher, leader of the sing-
ing in church or "Fore-singer," as he was then called, and he was
also the sexton of the church. In these churches where they had
a pipe organ, this man was also the organist. It was also his duty
to assist the pastor in his work ; and in the absence of the pastor
he had to catechise the young, and conduct funerals with a full
service for the burial of the dead. What will our modern school
teachers say to this, who complain that they have too laborious
duties? Think for a moment of the teachers of olden times and
their duties, and it will perhaps inspire you to work harder and
seek to accomplish more in the future in your work.

In some cases in this history every member of the family
was a school teacher.

Our forefathers believed in having church and school-house
near together, and in having the work of the school go hand in
hand with the work of the church. It would undoubtedly be
much better now if our schools were pervaded by a stronger
church and religious idea in educating the young. The school-

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 331

house under consideration, was the place where our forefathers
attended school a hundred and more years ago. The same build-
ing is standing to this day, and is still occupied by the sexton of
the church. When the free school system was introduced, the
church kindly consented to give the use of the school-room to
the district, rent free, if the district keep the room in proper re-
pair. This old school-room remained in use for school purposes
until the year 1870, when the district erected a new school-house
about half a mile east of the old building. The old school-room
is at present also made use of by the sexton's family. Three, if
not four, generations of the Shuey family attended school in this
old building, and in it the author of this book received his pri-
mary education, and attended here until he was employed by the
district as a teacher, and afterwards taught awhile in this build-
ing of bygone days.

The building was constructed of very heavy logs, weather-
boarded on the outside, and the school-room was only partly plas-
tered within. The floor was laid with oak plank — made to wear —
which the thousand little feet, running over it, could not wear
out. A heavy log extended through the room on which the
joists were resting; the ceiling was unplastered, and the top floor
had no less than five pipe-holes, which one would think should
be sufficient egress for the smoke; but by looking at the dark
ceiling, on which rests the smoke of a century, it would appear
that even five were not sufficient. In approaching the school-
room from without, it is necessary to ascend several steps, which
brings you on the porch. This porch extends along the whole
length of the building. About the middle of it is a double door —
one door extending from the floor about three feet high, and the
other then reaches to the top of the door frame. This upper
door was open most of the time; the lower was closed. Enter
this door and you are in a small ante-room, having one dcor
leading to the kitchen, a stairway, and the school-room door.
There were only board partitions between the rooms. What-
ever conversation was going on in the kitchen by the mem-
bers of the family could be distinctly understood by the scholars
in the room. Immediately above the school-room was a room
used by the sexton's family for sleeping purposes. .But two rows
of desks were in the school-room, and six or seven pupils were
crowded on one bench behind each high desk. The benches were
so high that none but the larger scholars could reach the floor
with their feet while seated at the desks. This old school-house
was built in 1783, as shown on a stone in the east wall, and is

332 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

therefore considerably more than a century old. It was an old
school-house when our grandparents attended at this place.

POSITION IN SOCIETY

This family always occupied a prominent and a medium
position in society. We might say that the members of this
family are a representative class of people. Their place was a
very useful one, they being ever ready to do good where oppor-
tunity afforded, and to fall in with any movement which carried
in itself the principles of morality and true manhood. In many
places they might have done more than they actually did, but
this could be said of every family, and it is a defect which is
common to all. Although the places of trust committed to them
were not always of the highest grade, yet we have the assurance
that such responsibilities as were placed upon them were prompt-
ly met, and fully discharged. This family never was very am-
bitious to get into public offices, or strove to place itself into high
positions. We have found many people whose ambition brought
them into public offices which they were not able to fill, and
who found themselves incompetent to discharge the duties per-
taining to the offices in which they had been placed. The mem-
bers of this family were contented with such offices and posi-
tions of trust as were offered to them, and in accepting such
position-.; they endeavored to meet the full responsibilities of the
office, with the full approval of their constituents. They can-
not boast of a President of the United States, nor a Governor
of some Commonwealth : but Congressmen, Legislators, Cashiers
of National Banks, commi?sioned officers in the U. S. Army,
and officers down to small municipal places of trust,
can be found in this family. Ministers of the Gospel, the
highest office on earth, doctors, lawyers, musicians, and teachers,
are also found in this family in large numbers ; and such as have
professions are persons of no ordinary qualifications, and occupy
prominent places in their different vocations. Respectability is
characteristic of this large family, and when we make mention on
these pages of a certain member of the family as being respect-
able and esteemed we do so without any exclusion of other
members whose history is given without such mention. The
members of this family are, as a general thing, the prominent
men and women of the communities wherein they reside. They
are regarded to a great extent as the leaders of the people.
Without seeking prominence, they are nevertheless influential
people in their own communities. They boast not of their quali-

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 333

fications, but pursue their work and profession in an unpretending
manner, with satisfaction to themselves and to others.

OCCUPATIONS

Many of the members of this family are engaged in agricultural
pursuits — a noble occupation — and they have as a general thing
been very successful in this branch of diversified life. To a
great extent this family has had its home in the country as tillers
of the soil, and made a living by honest toil and by the sweat of
the face, as was commanded by our Creator in the days of our
first parents. This living in the open air, and spending youth-
ful days in tilling the soil, has made them robust, strong and
muscular. Very few can be found in the family who are delicate
or weak physically. Hundreds, however, of the family have their
homes in cities, towns and villages, and are attending to their
share of usefulness in such business and occupations as are
adapted to those places. Such as are mechanics have useful
trades, and are flourishing in their business. Wherever we find
them, we discover that they are masters of the trades they repre-
sent. We also find that they represent the better class of trades
and occupations. They have no desire for any business which
would be degrading, or which might lessen their respectability.

LOVE OF HOME

Perhaps no family can be found which is more attached to
home than the Shuey family. The members of this family have
great reverence for the homes of their fathers, and the old home-
steads, as they are called, have become sacred places to the later
generations. This is strongly manifested by the fact that the
old homesteads are kept in the family name from generation to
generation. Some of these homesteads are known to have car-
ried the name Shuey, and have been occupied by different mem-
bers of the family for a period of at least a hundred years, and
they may possibly remain in the Shuey ownership for another cen-
tury. Many of the letters which the author received contained
references to the fact of the high estimation in which the home-
steads are held. Being so much attached to home, they are loath
to give up the places which have sheltered their ancestors. Very
few of the family have what may be called a roaming disposition,
inclining. them to move about from place to place, like Noah's
dove, seeking a place of rest. The family, however, has become
considerably separated, as it necessarily must ; for it can be easily
understood that not all could live on their fathers' farms, and
therefore some would venture out to a new place, and their pos-

terity as it increased would soon spread the name Shuey in that
community. The principal settlement of the Shuey family was
in Lebanon county, Pennsylvania, near the original home. There
is also quite a large settlement of Shueys in and near Dayton, Ohio.
Another extensive portion of the family is near Staunton,
Virginia. The family is represented in Pennsylvania, New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, District of Columbia,
Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis-
consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and Califor-
nia— indeed, in nearly all the States of the Union. The reader
can form some idea of the labor and patience of the author to find
where the members of the family live and then ascertain their
individual histories. Notwithstanding this wide scattering of the
family, we nevertheless find that Continuity is largely developed,
and the different members take pleasure in tracing their con-
nection with the old homesteads.

THE SHUEY PICNIC

In July, 1870, a Shuey picnic was held near Dayton, Ohio,
where, it is said, several hundred members of the family were
present. A small paper was read and published concerning the
Shueys around Dayton. This paper was of some assistance to
the author in compiling that portion of the history for this book.
The paper gives the dates of birth of the children of Lewis Henry
Shuey, but does not give his name, for the reason that his name
was not known to them at that time. It also states that these
children were all born in Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, whereas it
should say Lancaster county, now Lebanon county, Pennsylvania.
The place was Dauphin county from 1785 to 1814, but the young-
est of the children was born in 1768, consequently nearly twenty
years prior to the formation of Dauphin county. John Shuey,
of California, was the only Shuey present from abroad, and he
was really a member of the Dayton family.

REUNIONS OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

The reunion suggested by the author in his first history to
be held in 1876, near the place where Daniel Shuey, the ancestor
of all the Shueys in America, resided, could not be arranged for
and was not held. But many reunions have been held since by
different branches of the Shuey Family, notably those in Lebanon
county, Pa. These have been attended by large numbers of the
family, both those with the name Shuey and others whose mater-
nal ancestors were of the Shuey Family. Those present registered,
in a book, their name, date of birth and present residence. This

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 335

record book became valuable to the author in compiling the re-
vised edition of the history of this large family. It was at
such a reunion held in the fall of 1915, in Lebanon county, Pa.,
that the author, by invitation, came from Ohio to give the address
and told many important facts not contained in the original his-
tory, and that he was then requested and strongly urged to revise
the history and prepare a new book, bringing the history down to
the present time. This encouraged him to undertake the vast
project, adding forty-three years more to the history, during which
time more than a thousand young persons have come and joined
the Shuey family. These reunions are valuable in many re-
spects and should be continued. The Michael Shuey family at
Germantown, Ohio, has for some years been holding a family
reunion, lasting several days about the 4th of July.

The author suggests that another Shuey reunion should be
held on a grander scale ; let it be of the whole family in America,
by having representatives present from the different branches
of the family. This reunion should be held in Lebanon county,
Pennsylvania, on the farm where Daniel Shuey, the ancestor of all
the Shueys in America, lived ; and to make it more complete it
should be held on or about the 19th day of September, when
we could celebrate the anniversary of the landing in this country
of the first Shuey. Persons of the different branches of the
family should be delegated to attend this anniversary. It should
be a real family reunion.

The reason is at once apparent why this reunion should be
held in Bethel township, Lebanon county, Pa. It would bring
to mind many recollections, and would have a tendency to unite
the present generation of the different branches of the family
by such an intermingling on the very soil where lived and tilled
the first Shuey of America. Papers could be prepared and read
by representatives of the different branches of the family. These
papers could be preserved for future use and publication, if so
desired. The French blood in our veins would become manifest
in such pride of ancestry, or at least we would pay a proper re-
gard to the memory of the parents who gave birth to this exten-
sive family.

LANGUAGE

This is perhaps the most difficult subject that we are called
upon to treat in this volume, because it is no easy matter to make
it intelligible to the different portions of the family, on account
of the peculiarity of the Pennsylvania German language. It is

336 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

a well-known fact, that the first Shuey families in this country
were German. Their language was of a high order, and might be
called classical German. In course of time the families in Penn-
sylvania fell in with and appropriated that peculiar dialect denomi-
nated "Pennsylvania German,"' which is a peculiar dialect used,
not in the whole State, but especially in the counties where the
Shuey family resided, and the counties adjoining. This dialect was
prevailingly spoken at that time in the rural districts of those coun-
ties. The Pennsylvania Shueys made use of this dialect to a great
extent, and some few no doubt could be found who are not able to
make good use of the English nor the pure German language.
The author was brought up in a neighborhood where this dialect
was prevailingly used. One must be able to use the language in
order to understand its peculiarities.

It is a very limited language ; that is, it takes but few words
to express a thought, and the vocabulary of the language is not
very extensive. The purity of the German words is lost in this
dialect, and the words and sentences are made much shorter than
in the pure German language. Quite a number of English words
have been introduced. These introductions are becoming more
numerous as the people come in contact with the English lan-
guage, and no doubt in course of time this dialect will be dropped
and the English used in its stead.

An extraordinary fact, which may appear amusing or even
incredible to some, is the manner in which this dialect was made
use of in the schools of those sections of country where this lan-
guage was spoken at the time the author attended school. The
children when they first came to school were not able to speak
English ; yet they commenced with the English language, and
had all their studies in English. Their studying and their reci-
tations were English, while their conversation was in Pennsylvania
German. On the play-ground but little English was heard. To
some readers it might appear to be an impossibility, that children
who cannot speak English should have all their studies in En-
glish ; but this was a fact well-known to all Pennsylvania Ger-
mans. Of the German alphabet and German studies they knew
nothing. Then, as they grew older and became more advanced
in their studies, they learned to speak the English ; but this they
did more from their book knowledge than by conversation with
oihers.

There were no books printed in the Pennsylvania German lan-
guage : and, therefore, the children were compelled to take up
another language. It was consequently the study of a foreign

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 337

language to them. This fact goes to show that the children of
these German counties labored under great disadvantages, and
it might seem were much embarrassed in the progress of their stud-
ies, which, no doubt, was a fact in reference to beginners at
least ; but it is also a well-known fact, that many of our most
eminent men of Pennsylvania and other States, possessing superior
literary abilities, are the sons of just such families, and are per-
sons who were compelled to labor under just such difficulties as
are stated above. This assertion is not made without reflection.
Let the reaier look at the great men of our country, and then
examine into their parentage, and he will be surprised to find
that many of them are of Pennsylvania German descent.

To give the reader a proper idea of this Pennsylvania Ger-
man language, the following poem is inserted, which the author
of this book composed in 1870. No particular claim is based
on the poetry of the production, but it serves the purpose of giv-
ing an example of the language. The English letters are used, so
that there may be no difficulty in reading it. Those who are
unable to understand it will confer a favor by not asking for a
translation, as that would be more difficult than to write or com-
pose the original. The subject is "The School-house at the
Church," a sketch of which is given on a preceding page, where
it is called "The Old School-house." That portion of the family
using the Pennsylvania German will readily understand the poem.
Others may be enabled to understand the greater part of it with
the aid of our sketch of the house under consideration.

DES SCHULHAUS AN DER KERCH

Gans neghst wo ich mei Haemet hab,
Net weit vum neue Wangner Shop,
Senscht du en Haus gans ivverzwerch —
Sell is es Schulhaus an der Kerch.

Dort shtehts alt Bakhaus, dort der Shtall,
Un dorch der Bush gebts oft en Schall,
Wann yusht die Kinner spiele drin.
Bis dos der Teacher ruft "Come in."

Die Porch is schlecht — die Bank shteht druf —
An yedem End gehn Dreppe nuf —
Die Bump yusht drei Schritt von dem Haus
Dort grickt mer's wasser frisch heraus.

Die Kerrich shteht shtick draus am Weg,
Vum Schulhaus wo mer grickt hen Schleg,

So gehts do in der sinde Welt

Now hab ich euch vum Schulhaus g'melt.

MIDDLE NAME SHUEY

The reader will notice in many of the names mentioned in this
history the letter for the middle name is S and this almost always
stands for Shuey even to the third generation, indicating that
they desire to continue carrying the name Shuey, though other-
wise changed by marriage into other families. The author
noticed this particularly as the information for the new book
came in from the different States. Surely they are entitled to
wear the name with honor if by so doing they also continue to
maintain the noble characteristics of this wonderful family.

THE FAMILY LIFE

This family has always believed in the sanctity of the mar-
riage relation, the beautiful home and the congenial family life.
Divorce is almost unknown. In the history of this family cover-
ing nearly two hundred years and spread over many of the States
the author has learned of two divorces only, and it is purported
that in neither case did the fault lie on the Shuey side.

One of the members of the Shuey family in Iowa writes : "I
am happy to say there have been no divorces — no drinkers, gam-
blers or in any way bad characters in the family. On the other
hand, all have been true Christians, upright, honorable, leaders
in the church and community and great lovers of family and
home."

340 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

THE DISCOVERY OF ANTHRACITE COAL

In I. D. Rupp's History of Schuylkill county, Pa., he says
coal wa$ first known in 1790. See page 298. In 1795 a black-
smith tried it. Others dug for coal but the difficulty of burning
it was so great that it was abandoned. In 1800, William Morris
took some to Philadelphia, but could not bring it into notice. It
was not tried again until 1806, when David Berlin, a blacksmith,
again tried and succeeded in using it. In 1812, Col. George
Shoemaker loaded nine wagons with coal and went to Philadel-
phia, but he found little success. Those who tried it said he was
an impostor in trying to sell them stones. But Mellon & Bishop
tried it in their rolling mill and succeeded, and from that time
it has been used.

It will be interesting to note that in 1798, Martin and Chris-
tian Shuey were interested in coal land. "Feb. 10, 1798, be-
tween Jacob Gunckel, of Pinegrove township, Berks county, Pa.,
and Susanna his wife, of the first part, and Martin Shuey and
Christian Shuey, both of Bethel township, Dauphin county, Pa.,
of the second part. By virtue of Warrant dated Oct. 1, 1784,
surveyed unto Jacob Gunckel and George Royer, a certain tract
of land in Pinegrove township, bounded by other lands of Jacob
Gunckel and George Royer and others, containing 391 acres and
allowance. Also by Warrant dated June 17, 1785, to Jacob
Gunckel and George Royer another tract in same township which
joins the other tract, also joins lands of Michael Gunckel and
vacant lands, containing 1 10 acres and 90 perches and allowance.
Consideration of 125 Pounds, 7 shillings and 6 pence, sell their
undivided one-half interest (Excepting and Reserving out of
this grant all the Sea-coals whatsoever are in and on a certain
hill on the side of a certain creek Running through the Said de-
scribed two Tracts of Land, so that it shall and may be lawful for
the said Jacob Gunckel, his heirs and assigns to take, carry or
haul away any time or times hereafter all the Sea-coals whatso-
ever are on or in the said hill to be his and their own property).
To have and to hold (as tenants in common), under and subject
to the payment of the proportional part of the Remainder of the
Purchase money and interest now due and hereafter to become
due and payable for the same to the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania." Sea-coal is defined in an old Webster's Dictionary as
"Coal brought by sea ; a vulgar name for mineral coal, in distinc-
tion from charcoal." This proves that the Shuey family were
very early in the coal field, and it shows their enterprise. Later

HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY 341

many of the Shueys became coal .miners, as will be noticed in this
hi-tory.

(From the "Designer," October, 1903.)

ONE WOMAN'S GIFT.

A life to be proud of is that of Mrs. Nancy Shuey, aged 86.
Mrs. Shuey was never blessed with children of her own, but for
sixty years she has devoted her whole time and energies to caring
for other people's children. She has reared and educated 25 or-
phans, 9 of whom were married at her home at Kouts, Indiana.
When asked how she happened to take such an interest in these
children, she said with a benevolent twinkle in her eye: "Well,
I just got interested in the poor little things, and the more I did
for them, the more I wanted to do. I felt I could do some good
that way and I am not sorry I tried it. I raised and educated
25 of them — 14 boys and 1 1 girls. All but 3 of them are still
living, scattered about over the country. And the best of it is
they are all doing well, and every one of them is grateful. They
all turned out to be industrious, honorable men and women and
are good citizens." In other words, this woman has been a
whole orphan asylum in herself. Motherless herself, she has
done the work of a dozen ordinary mothers. That she has
been a real mother is attested by the fact that her "children" are
"all doing well and every one of them is grateful." Herein is real
philanthropy. This woman has not simply given money, she has
given herself.

It is a difficult matter to close a Family History of this kind
which i* intended to bring it down to date. In such a large family,
spread over the whole nation, births, marriages and deaths are
occurring so rapidly, that the latest cannot be noted. This is
especially the case of the military service rendered by members
of this family in the World's War. The author realizes that this
part of the history is quite incomplete, inasmuch as but a limited
part of information came to hand. These young men who gave
their services (and some perhaps their lives) to our country
and the cause for which it entered into this war, deserved a much
fuller account. This part would, indeed, be of great interest to
the coming generations. Some very important facts came to
hand which could not be included in this book because the history
of the persons to which it had reference had been in print on
foregoing pages. Some peculiar incidents or items mentioned
in this book will likely be of interest to the members of this ex-

342 HISTORY OF THE SHUEY FAMILY

ceptional family. While the church relationship is not mentioned
in the case of many of the individuals whose history is given in
this book, yet it is known that nearly all are active Christians
and there are none who are agnostic or unbelievers in the Txiune
God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All honor to the God who
gave life and happiness to this large family.
